Comments

FUNCTION | With LigD forms a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair enzyme, which repairs dsDNA breaks with reduced fidelity. Binds linear dsDNA with 5'- and 3'- overhangs but not closed circular dsDNA nor ssDNA. Recruits and stimulates the ligase activity of LigD. |
SUBUNIT | Homodimer. Interacts with LigD. |
SIMILARITY | Belongs to the prokaryotic Ku family. |

Comments | LigD, the NHEJ partner of Ku, is a multifunctional protein composed of 2-3 domains; polymerase/primase, phosphoesterase and ligase domains. Domain order in LigD is permutated in Actinomycetota and Gammaproteobacteria, whereas the 3 domains are encoded as separate proteins in at least one Euryarchaeota. In Bacilli LigD only has the polymerase/primase and ligase domains. |
