LIG1
DNA ligase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''LIG1'' gene. DNA ligases are important tools for DNA replication and repair in living organisms. There are two families of DNA ligases, ATP-dependent DNA ligases and NAD+ dependent DNA ligases. Dependence upon ATP or NAD+ is conferred in the ligase-adenylate formation and which substrate is to be used. ATP dependent ligases are found in eukaryotes, while NAD+ dependent ligases are found in prokaryotes. DNA ligase I is found in eukaryotes and therefore is in the family of ATP-dependent DNA ligases. == Discovery ==
Previously it had been known that DNA replication occurred through the breakage of the double DNA strand, but the mechanism of action and enzyme responsible for ligating the strands back together was unknown. In the 1960s Lehman laboratories investigated this mystery, discovering DNA ligase and it’s mechanism of action in 1967. The Gellert, Richardson, and Hurwitz laboratories are also credited for their help in the discovery of DNA ligases in the 1960s. Of the known eukaryotic DNA ligases, DNA ligase I is the only ligase involved in DNA replication making it the most studied of the ligases.
