Mechanism of human Lig1 regulation by PCNA in Okazaki fragment sealing
2022-02-22
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>During lagging strand synthesis, DNA Ligase 1 (Lig1) cooperates with the sliding clamp PCNA to seal the nicks between Okazaki fragments generated by Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), but the structural basis of this mechanism is unknown. We present cryo-EM structures of human Lig1 bound to nicked DNA and PCNA in absence and presence of FEN1. Lig1 and PCNA form a two-ring complex encircling th...
