XRCC4:DNA ligase IV can ligate incompatible DNA ends and can ligate across gaps.
XRCC4 and DNA ligase IV form a complex that is essential for the repair of all double-strand DNA breaks by the nonhomologous DNA end joining pathway in eukaryotes. We find here that human XRCC4:DNA ligase IV can ligate two double-strand DNA ends that have fully incompatible short 3' overhang configurations with no potential for base pairing. Moreover, at DNA ends that share 1-4 annealed base pa...
متن کاملArteriovenous fistula aneurysm--plicate, not ligate.
INTRODUCTION Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) created for haemodialysis can be complicated by aneurysm formation. CLINICAL PICTURE Ligation of the fistula is often required to prevent aneurysmal rupture and the life-threatening haemorrhage that ensues. Other methods of treatment involve using foreign bodies like mesh and grafts. TREATMENT We describe a new method in the treatment of this conditi...
متن کاملSingle-stranded DNA ligation and XLF-stimulated incompatible DNA end ligation by the XRCC4-DNA ligase IV complex: influence of terminal DNA sequence
The double-strand DNA break repair pathway, non-homologous DNA end joining (NHEJ), is distinctive for the flexibility of its nuclease, polymerase and ligase activities. Here we find that the joining of ends by XRCC4-ligase IV is markedly influenced by the terminal sequence, and a steric hindrance model can account for this. XLF (Cernunnos) stimulates the joining of both incompatible DNA ends an...
متن کاملHow does parkin ligate ubiquitin to Parkinson's disease?
Recessive mutations in the human PARKIN gene are the most common cause of hereditary parkinsonism, which arises from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However, the molecular mechanisms by which the loss of parkin causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration are not well understood. Parkin is an enzyme that ubiquitinates several candidate substrate proteins and thereby t...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the end-joining activity of several DNA ligases
DNA ligases catalyze the repair of phosphate backbone breaks in DNA, acting with highest activity on breaks in one strand of duplex DNA. Some DNA ligases have also been observed to ligate two DNA fragments with short complementary overhangs or blunt-ended termini. In this study, several wild-type DNA ligases (phage T3, T4, and T7 DNA ligases, Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (PBCV1) DNA li...
