Abstract
During lagging strand synthesis, DNA Ligase 1 (Lig1) cooperates with the sliding clamp PCNA to seal the nicks between Okazaki fragments generated by Pol δ and Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1). We present several cryo-EM structures combined with functional assays, showing that human Lig1 recruits PCNA to nicked DNA using two PCNA-interacting motifs (PIPs) located at its disordered N-terminus (PIPN-term) and DNA binding domain (PIPDBD). Once Lig1 and PCNA assemble as two-stack rings encircling DNA, PIPN-term is released from PCNA and only PIPDBD is required for ligation to facilitate the substrate handoff from FEN1. Consistently, we observed that PCNA forms a defined complex with FEN1 and nicked DNA, and it recruits Lig1 to an unoccupied monomer creating a toolbelt that drives the transfer of DNA to Lig1. Collectively, our results provide a structural model on how PCNA regulates FEN1 and Lig1 during Okazaki fragments maturation.

Abstract
Human DNA ligase1 (hLig1) is the major replicative enzyme in proliferating mammalian cells that join Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand during DNA replication. Interruptions in the process of ligation cause DNA damage to accumulate, resulting in cytotoxicity and cell death. In the present study we demonstrate that pyrrolo[1,4] benzodiazepine (PBD) derivatives exhibit anticancer properties by targeting the nick sealing activity of hLig1 as opposed to the DNA interaction activity known for such compounds. Our in silico and in vitro assays demonstrate the binding of these molecules with amino acid residues present in the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the hLig1 enzyme. Two of these hLig1 inhibitors S010-015 and S010-018 demonstrated selective cytotoxicity against DLD-1 (colon cancer) and HepG2 (hepatic cancer) cells in a dose dependant manner. The molecules also reduced cell viability and colony formation at concentrations of ⩽20μM in DLD-1 and HepG2 cells and induced apoptotic cell death. In yet another significant finding, the molecules reduced the migration of cancer cells in wound healing experiments, indicating their anti-metastatic property. In summary, we report the anticancer activity of PBD derivatives against DLD-1 and HepG2 cells and propose a new molecular target for their activity.

Abstract
DNA ligase I (LIG1) catalyzes the ligation of single-strand breaks to complete DNA replication and repair. The energy of ATP is used to form a new phosphodiester bond in DNA via a reaction mechanism that involves three distinct chemical steps: enzyme adenylylation, adenylyl transfer to DNA, and nick sealing. We used steady state and pre-steady state kinetics to characterize the minimal mechanism for DNA ligation catalyzed by human LIG1. The ATP dependence of the reaction indicates that LIG1 requires multiple Mg(2+) ions for catalysis and that an essential Mg(2+) ion binds more tightly to ATP than to the enzyme. Further dissection of the magnesium ion dependence of individual reaction steps revealed that the affinity for Mg(2+) changes along the reaction coordinate. At saturating concentrations of ATP and Mg(2+) ions, the three chemical steps occur at similar rates, and the efficiency of ligation is high. However, under conditions of limiting Mg(2+), the nick-sealing step becomes rate-limiting, and the adenylylated DNA intermediate is prematurely released into solution. Subsequent adenylylation of enzyme prevents rebinding to the adenylylated DNA intermediate comprising an Achilles' heel of LIG1. These ligase-generated 5'-adenylylated nicks constitute persistent breaks that are a threat to genomic stability if they are not repaired. The kinetic and thermodynamic framework that we have determined for LIG1 provides a starting point for understanding the mechanism and specificity of mammalian DNA ligases.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that the Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) checkpoint complex, known to be a sensor of DNA damage, is also a component of DNA repair systems. Recent results show that 9-1-1 interacts with several base excision repair proteins. It binds the DNA glycosylase MutY homolog, and stimulates DNA polymerase beta, flap endonuclease 1, and DNA ligase I. 9-1-1 resembles proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which stimulates some of these same repair enzymes, and is loaded onto DNA in a similar manner. The complex of 9-1-1 with DNA ligase I can be immunoprecipitated from human cells. Moreover, UV irradiation stimulates 9-1-1.ligase I complex formation, suggesting a role for 9-1-1 in DNA repair. Examining the nature of 9-1-1 interaction with DNA ligase I, we show that there is a similar degree of stimulation on ligation substrates with different structures, and that there is specificity for DNA ligase I. 9-1-1 improves the binding of DNA ligase I to nicked double strand DNA. Furthermore, although high concentrations of casein kinase II strongly inhibits DNA ligase I activity, it does not affect the ability of 9-1-1 to stimulate. This suggests that 9-1-1 is also an activator of DNA ligase I during DNA damage. Unlike PCNA, 9-1-1 stimulates DNA ligase I activity to the same extent on both linear and circular substrates, indicating that encirclement is not a requirement for stimulation. These data are consistent with a direct role for 9-1-1 in DNA repair, but possibly employing a different mechanism than PCNA.

Abstract
The joining of DNA strand breaks by DNA ligases is required to seal Okazaki fragments during DNA replication and to complete almost all DNA repair pathways. In human cells, there are multiple species of DNA ligase encoded by the LIG1, LIG3, and LIG4 genes. Here we describe protocols to overexpress and purify recombinant DNA ligase I, DNA ligase IIIbeta, and DNA ligase IV/XRCC4 and the assays used to purify and distinguish between these enzymes. In addition, we describe a fluorescence-based ligation assay that can be used for high throughput screening of chemical libraries.

Abstract
We have succeeded in developing a simple and effective protein refolding method using the inorganic catalyst, beta-zeolite. The method involves the adsorption of proteins solubilized with 6M guanidine hydrochloride from inclusion body (IB) preparations onto the zeolite. The denaturant is then removed, and the proteins in the IBs are released from the zeolite with polyoxyethylene detergent and salt. All of the IBs tested (11 different species) were successfully refolded under these conditions. The refolded proteins are biochemically active, and NMR analysis of one of the proteins (replication protein A 8) supports the conclusion that correct refolding does occur. Based on these results, we discuss the refolding mechanism.

Abstract
The end-joining reaction catalysed by DNA ligases is required by all organisms and serves as the ultimate step of DNA replication, repair and recombination processes. One of three well characterized mammalian DNA ligases, DNA ligase I, joins Okazaki fragments during DNA replication. Here we report the crystal structure of human DNA ligase I (residues 233 to 919) in complex with a nicked, 5' adenylated DNA intermediate. The structure shows that the enzyme redirects the path of the double helix to expose the nick termini for the strand-joining reaction. It also reveals a unique feature of mammalian ligases: a DNA-binding domain that allows ligase I to encircle its DNA substrate, stabilizes the DNA in a distorted structure, and positions the catalytic core on the nick. Similarities in the toroidal shape and dimensions of DNA ligase I and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen sliding clamp are suggestive of an extensive protein-protein interface that may coordinate the joining of Okazaki fragments.

Abstract
DNA ligase IV is thought to be involved in DNA double-strand break repair and DNA non-homologous end-joining pathways, but these mechanisms are still unclear. To investigate the roles of DNA ligase IV from a biologically functional viewpoint, the authors studied its relationship to meiosis in a basidiomycete, Coprinus cinereus, which shows a highly synchronous meiotic cell cycle. The C. cinereus cDNA homologue of DNA ligase IV (CcLIG4) was successfully cloned. The 3.2 kb clone including the ORF encoded a predicted product of 1025 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 117 kDa. A specific inserted sequence composed of 95 amino acids rich in aspartic acid and glutamic acid could be detected between tandem BRCT domains. The inserted sequence had no sequence identity with other eukaryotic counterparts of DNA ligase IV or with another aspartic acid and glutamic acid rich sequence inserted in C. cinereus proliferating cell nuclear antigen (CcPCNA), although the length and the percentages of aspartic and glutamic acids were similar. In addition, the recombinant CcLIG4 protein not only showed ATP-dependent ligase activity, but also used (dT)(16)/poly(dA) and (dT)(16)/poly(rA) as substrates, and had double-strand ligation activity, like human DNA ligase IV. Northern hybridization analysis and in situ hybridization indicated that CcLIG4 was expressed not only at the pre-meiotic S phase but also at meiotic prophase I. Intense signals were observed in leptotene and zygotene. Based on these observations, the possible role(s) of C. cinereus DNA ligase IV during meiosis are discussed.

Abstract
Base loss is common in cellular DNA, resulting from spontaneous degradation and enzymatic removal of damaged bases. Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases recognize and cleave abasic (AP) sites during base excision repair (BER). APE1 (REF1, HAP1) is the predominant AP endonuclease in mammalian cells. Here we analyzed the influences of APE1 on the human BER pathway. Specifically, APE1 enhanced the enzymatic activity of both flap endonuclease1 (FEN1) and DNA ligase I. FEN1 was stimulated on all tested substrates, regardless of flap length. Interestingly, we have found that APE1 can also inhibit the activities of both enzymes on substrates with a tetrahydrofuran (THF) residue on the 5'-downstream primer of a nick, simulating a reduced abasic site. However once the THF residue was displaced at least a single nucleotide, stimulation of FEN1 activity by APE1 resumes. Stimulation of DNA ligase I required the traditional nicked substrate. Furthermore, APE1 was able to enhance overall product formation in reconstitution of BER steps involving FEN1 cleavage followed by ligation. Overall, APE1 both stimulated downstream components of BER and prevented a futile cleavage and ligation cycle, indicating a far-reaching role in BER.

Abstract
Repeat sequences in various genomes undergo expansion by poorly understood mechanisms. By using an oligonucleotide system containing such repeats, we recapitulated the last steps in Okazaki fragment processing, which have been implicated in sequence expansion. A template containing either triplet or tandem repeats was annealed to a downstream primer containing complementary repeats at its 5'-end. Overlapping upstream primers, designed to strand-displace varying numbers of repeats in the downstream primer, were annealed. Human DNA ligase I joined overlapping segments of repeats generating an expansion product from the primer strands. Joining efficiency decreased with repeat length. Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) cleaved the displaced downstream strand and together with DNA ligase I produced non-expanded products. However, both expanded and non-expanded products formed irrespective of relative nuclease and ligase concentrations tested or enzyme addition order, suggesting the pre-existence and persistence of intermediates leading to both outcomes. FEN1 activity decreased with the length of repeat segment displaced presumably because the flap forms structures that inhibit cleavage. Increased MgCl(2) disfavored ligation of substrate intermediates that result in expansion products. Examination of expansion in vitro enables dissection of substrate and replication enzyme dynamics on repeat sequences.

Abstract
Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric single-stranded DNA-binding protein that participates in multiple DNA transactions that include replication and repair. Base excision repair is a central DNA repair pathway, responsible for the removal of damaged bases. We have shown previously that RPA was able to stimulate long patch base excision repair reconstituted in vitro. Herein we show that human RPA stimulates the activity of the base excision repair component human DNA ligase I by approximately 15-fold. Other analyzed single-stranded binding proteins would not substitute, attesting to the specificity of the stimulation. Conversely, RPA was unable to stimulate the functionally homologous ATP-dependent ligase from T4 bacteriophage. Kinetic analyses suggest that catalysis of ligation is enhanced by RPA, as a 4-fold increase in k(cat) is observed, whereas K(m) is not significantly changed. Substrate competition experiments further support the conclusion that RPA does not alter the specificity or rate of substrate binding by DNA ligase I. Additionally, RPA is unable to significantly enhance ligation on substrates containing an unannealed 3'-upstream primer terminus, suggesting that RPA does not stabilize the nick site to enhance ligase recognition. Furthermore when DNA ligase I is pre-bound to the substrate and limited to a single turnover, RPA is still able to stimulate ligation. Overall, the results support a mechanism of stimulation that involves increasing the rate of catalysis of ligation.

Abstract
Sequencing of a human DNA ligase I cDNA clone derived from HeLa cells revealed two unreported differences with the published sequence: a single base change and a three-base deletion. Both differences are in exon 6, and were analyzed by amplifying a segment containing exon 5, intron 6, and exon 6. The first finding was that intron 6 is approximately 2.6 kb in size, not the 1 kb reported in the literature. By sequence analysis of amplified segments, the single-base difference in exon 6 was shown to be polymorphic, with HeLa cells heterozygous for the A/C difference. Analysis of 60 unrelated individuals found a frequency of 0.5 for each allele. Primer extension reactions across the exon 5/exon 6 boundary were performed on cDNA obtained from HeLa cells and human thymus. The results show that the three-base deletion is due to a variation in splicing. For both HeLa and thymus, two-thirds of the transcripts are like the published cDNA sequence and one-third have the three-base deletion. Finally, sequencing of part of intron 6 revealed the presence of a complex GT repeat consisting of a 48-50 nucleotide polypurine tract followed by a variable number of GT residues. This entire unit of polypurine tract plus GTs is repeated three times. Detection of the repeated sequences required the development of specialized cloning and PCR conditions. Analysis of a pedigree showed that this complex repeat is polymorphic.

Abstract
The role of human FEN1 (flap endonuclease-1), an RTH1 (RAD two homolog-1) class nuclease, in the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 has been examined using model substrates. FEN1 is able to endonucleolytically cleave a primer annealed to a template, but with a 5'-unannealed tail. The HIV (+)-strand is synthesized as two discontinuous segments, with the upstream segment displacing the downstream segment to form a central (+)-strand overlap. Given a substrate with the exact HIV nucleotide sequence, FEN1 was able to remove the overlap. After extension of the upstream primer with DNA polymerase epsilon, human DNA ligase I was able to complete the continuous double strand as would occur for an integrated provirus. FEN1 may represent a target for new therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Two pathways for completion of DNA base excision repair (BER) have recently emerged. In one, called short patch BER, only the damaged nucleotide is replaced, whereas in the second, known as long patch BER, the monobasic lesion is removed along with additional downstream nucleotides. Flap endonuclease 1, which preferentially cleaves unannealed 5'-flap structures in DNA, has been shown to play a crucial role in the long patch mode of repair. This nuclease will efficiently release 5'-terminal abasic lesions as part of an intact oligonucleotide when cleavage is combined with strand displacement synthesis. Further gap filling and ligation complete repair. We reconstituted the final steps of long patch base excision repair in vitro using calf DNA polymerase epsilon to provide strand displacement synthesis, human flap endonuclease 1, and human DNA ligase I. Replication protein A is an important constituent of the DNA replication machinery. It also has been shown to interact with an early component of base excision repair: uracil glycosylase. Here we show that human replication protein A greatly stimulates long patch base excision repair.

Abstract
DNA ligase IV in a complex with XRCC4 is responsible for DNA end-joining in repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) and V(D)J recombination. We found that non-histone chromosomal high mobility group (HMG) proteins 1 and 2 enhanced the ligation of linearized pUC119 DNA with DNA ligase IV from rat liver nuclear extract. Intra-molecular and inter-molecular ligations of cohesive-ended and blunt-ended DNA were markedly stimulated by HMG1 and 2. Recombinant HMG2-domain A, B, and (A + B) polypeptides were similarly, but non-identically, effective for the stimulation of DSB ligation reaction. Ligation of single-strand breaks (nicks) was only slightly activated by the HMG proteins. The DNA end-binding Ku protein singly or in combination with the catalytic component of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) as the DNA-PK holoenzyme was ineffective for the ligation of linearized pUC119 DNA. Although the stimulatory effect of HMG1 and 2 on ligation of DSB in vitro was not specific to DNA ligase IV, these results suggest that HMG1 and 2 are involved in the final ligation step in DNA end-joining processes of DSB repair and V(D)J recombination.

Abstract
The joining of Okazaki fragments during lagging strand DNA replication in mammalian cells is believed to be due to DNA ligase I. This enzyme is composed of a 78-kDa carboxyl-terminal catalytic domain and a 24-kDa amino-terminal region that is not required for ligation activity in vitro. Extracts of the human cell line 46BR.1G1, in which DNA ligase I is mutationally altered, supported aberrant in vitro SV40 DNA replication; the joining of Okazaki fragments was defective, and unligated intermediates were unstable. Human DNA ligase I, but not DNA ligase III or bacteriophage T4 DNA ligase, complemented both defects in 46BR.1G1 extracts. The catalytic domain of DNA ligase I was 10-fold less effective in complementation experiments than the full-length protein, indicating that the amino-terminal region of the enzyme is required for efficient lagging strand DNA replication. Moreover, in vitro SV40 DNA replication in normal human cell extracts was inhibited by an excess of either full-length DNA ligase I or the amino-terminal region of the protein, but not by the catalytic domain. This inhibition may be mediated by the interaction of the amino-terminal region of DNA ligase I with other replication proteins.

Abstract
DNA ligase was highly purified from the fungus Coprinus cinereus at the miotic recombination stage, pachytene. The pachytene DNA ligase showed three polypeptides with molecular masses of 88, 84 and 80 kDa, as estimated by the [32P]AMP-labeling assay. These three polypeptides were susceptible to reaction with an mAb against a 16-amino-acid sequence in human DNA ligase I, which is conserved in C-terminal regions of mammalian, vaccinia virus and yeast DNA ligases. Since rapidly purified preparations from fresh pachytene cells exhibited a single polypeptide of DNA ligase with a molecular mass of 88 kDa, the smaller polypeptides seemed to be limited-degradation products of the 88-kDa polypeptide during the isolation and purification procedures. K(m) values for ATP and (dT)20 hybridized with (dA)n were 1.5 microM and 90 nM, respectively. This enzyme was capable of joining (dT)20.(rA)n and (rA)12-18 (dT)n as well as (dT)20.(dA)n and able to ligate blunt-ended DNA in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) 6000. DNA ligases were also partially purified from zygotene cells at the meiotic pairing stage and mitotic mycelium cells. In their molecular mass, immuno-reactivity, K(m) value and substrate specificity, they were indistinguishable from pachytene DNA ligase. These results suggest that the fungus C. cinereus at the pachytene stage contains DNA ligase with a molecular mass of 88 kDa as a main or a single species, which is quite similar to DNA ligases from the zygotene and mycelium cells in molecular and catalytic properties.
