Two-tiered enforcement of high-fidelity DNA ligation

DNA ligases catalyze the joining of DNA strands to complete DNA replication, recombination and repair transactions. Here the authors present X-ray structures and kinetic analyses of LIG1 complexes with undamaged and oxidatively damaged DNA that unveil determinants of LIG1 substrate recognition and e...
