DNA ligases catalyse the crucial step of joining the breaks in duplex DNA during DNA replication, repair and recombination, utilising either ATP or NAD(+) as a cofactor [1]. This family is a small zinc binding motif that is presumably DNA binding [1]. IT is found only in NAD dependent DNA ligases [1].

DNA ligases catalyse the crucial step of joining the breaks in duplex DNA during DNA replication, repair and recombination, utilising either ATP or NAD(+) as a cofactor [1]. This family is a small domain found after the adenylation domain Pfam:PF01653 in NAD dependent ligases [1]. OB-fold domains generally are involved in nucleic acid binding.

DNA ligases catalyse the crucial step of joining the breaks in duplex DNA during DNA replication, repair and recombination, utilising either ATP or NAD(+) as a cofactor [1]. This domain is the catalytic adenylation domain. The NAD+ group is covalently attached to this domain at the lysine in the KXDG motif of this domain. This enzyme- adenylate intermediate is an important feature of the proposed catalytic mechanism [1].
The alpha-helical Nlig-Ia domain is found at the N-terminal of DNA ligases and it has been proposed to either swivel the NAD+ close to the ligase active site lysine on the RAGNYA domain or function as an allosteric NAD+ binding site. The Nlig-Ia doma ...
The alpha-helical Nlig-Ia domain is found at the N-terminal of DNA ligases and it has been proposed to either swivel the NAD+ close to the ligase active site lysine on the RAGNYA domain or function as an allosteric NAD+ binding site. The Nlig-Ia domain is also observed as a solo protein in phages that do not encode a separate NAD+-dependent ligase catalytic module, suggesting the domain can function independently of a DNA ligase. It has been proposed that these domains likely function as NAD+ sensors which might help indicate to the phage the development of NADase host effectors or shield NAD+ from the action of such effectors [1-3].
DNA ligases catalyse the formation of phosphodiester bonds at single-strand breaks in double stranded DNA and are required in DNA replication, repair and recombination. DNA ligases are also used extensively for in vitro DNA manipulation and cloning techniques. Eukaryotic, viral and achaebacteria encoded enzyme al require ATP, where as NAD+ requiring DNA ligases are found exclusively in eubacteria.
