CD Accession:
cl03295
CD Definition:
NAD+ dependent DNA ligase adenylation domain. DNA ligases catalyze the crucial step of joining the breaks in duplex DNA during DNA replication, repair and recombination, utilizing either ATP or NAD(+) as a cofactor, but using the same basic reaction mechanism. The enzyme reacts with the cofactor to form a phosphoamide-linked AMP with the amino group of a conserved Lysine in the KXDG motif, and subsequently transfers it to the DNA substrate to yield adenylated DNA. This alignment contains members of the NAD+ dependent subfamily only.
