FunFam 381: DNA ligase

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 4 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
DNA ligase activity GO:0003909
Catalysis of the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 3'-hydroxyl group at the end of one DNA chain and the 5'-phosphate group at the end of another. This reaction requires an energy source such as ATP or NAD+.
1 P52496 (/IGI)
DNA ligase (ATP) activity GO:0003910
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + deoxyribonucleotide(n) + deoxyribonucleotide(m) = AMP + diphosphate + deoxyribonucleotide(n+m).
1 Q08387 (/IDA)
DNA ligase (ATP) activity GO:0003910
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + deoxyribonucleotide(n) + deoxyribonucleotide(m) = AMP + diphosphate + deoxyribonucleotide(n+m).
1 Q08387 (/IMP)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 Q08387 (/IPI)

There are 6 GO terms relating to "biological process"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Replicative cell aging GO:0001302
The process associated with progression of the cell from its inception to the end of its lifespan that occurs as the cell continues cycles of growth and division.
1 Q08387 (/IGI)
Double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining GO:0006303
The repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the two broken ends are rejoined with little or no sequence complementarity. Information at the DNA ends may be lost due to the modification of broken DNA ends. This term covers instances of separate pathways, called classical (or canonical) and alternative nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ and A-NHEJ). These in turn may further branch into sub-pathways, but evidence is still unclear.

1 Q08387 (/IMP)
Pathogenesis GO:0009405
The set of specific processes that generate the ability of an organism to induce an abnormal, generally detrimental state in another organism.
1 P52496 (/IMP)
Filamentous growth GO:0030447
The process in which a multicellular organism, a unicellular organism or a group of unicellular organisms grow in a threadlike, filamentous shape.
1 P52496 (/IMP)
Filamentous growth of a population of unicellular organisms GO:0044182
The process in which a group of unicellular organisms grow in a threadlike, filamentous shape.
1 P52496 (/IMP)

GO Term Annotations Evidence
DNA ligase IV complex GO:0032807
A eukaryotically conserved protein complex that contains DNA ligase IV and is involved in DNA repair by non-homologous end joining; in addition to the ligase, the complex also contains XRCC4 or a homolog, e.g. Saccharomyces Lif1p.
