    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • sensitivity to ionizing radiation in the stationary phase [Pubmed|12215643]
  • sensitivity of spores to several DNA-damaging treatments known to cause double strand breaks, such as UV-ray, X-ray, ultrahigh vacuum and wet heat [Pubmed|16497325,17293412]
  • a ''[gene|B3E1652E9F3BDC9520847C479A2C0BED25025B4C|ykoV]-[gene|127CB0930A2D96B18D9261180028818F158C68CB|ligD]'' double mutant is sensitive to radiation [Pubmed|24123749]
  • reduced resistance towards electron beams [pubmed|31948638]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • has inherent polymerization and ligase activities that allow it to fill the short gaps that can arise after realignment of the broken ends and to seal the resulting nicks, contributing to genome stability during the stationary phase and germination
  • has an intrinsic 5'-2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate (dRP) lyase activity located at the N-terminal ligase domain [Pubmed|26826709]
  • ATP + (deoxyribonucleotide)(n)-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho-(deoxyribonucleotide)(m) --> (deoxyribonucleotide)(n+m) + AMP + diphosphate (according to UniProt)
  • Protein family

  • N-terminal part: LigD polymerase family (single member, according to UniProt)
  • C-terminal part: ATP-dependent DNA ligase family (with [protein|B66132676788FBA47D375193A1C01FC6F93E110F|LigB], according to UniProt)
  • [SW|Domains]

  • N-terminal DNA ligase catalytic domain (aa 1 - 331) linked to a C-terminal polymerase domain (aa 332 - 611) [Pubmed|23691176]
  • Structure

  • [PDB|6NHX] (N-terminal ligase domain, from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 26.3% identity) [pubmed|30718283]
  • [PDB|5OP0] (C-terminal polymerase domain, from Mycobacterium smegmatis, 30% identity) [pubmed|29089537]
