The optimal incubation temperature for T4 DNA ligase is 16 °C. [citation needed] Bacteriophage T4 ligase mutants have increased sensitivity to both UV irradiation [7] [8] and the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate [9] indicating that DNA ligase is employed in the repair of the DNA damages caused by these agents.
T4 DNA ligase used to cyclize short ssDNA fragments, but process is complicated by formation of secondary structures. On the other hand, Taq DNA ligase is a thermostable enzyme which can be applied at higher temperatures (45, 55 and 65 °C respectively). Since at these temperature range secondary structures less stable it is enhance cyclization ...
Gibson assembly is a molecular cloning method that allows for the joining of multiple DNA fragments in a single, isothermal reaction. It is named after its creator, Daniel G. Gibson, who is the chief technology officer and co-founder of the synthetic biology company, Telesis Bio. The technology is more efficient than manual plasmid genetic ...
DNA ligase 4 is an ATP-dependent DNA ligase that joins double-strand breaks during the non-homologous end joining pathway of double-strand break repair. It is also essential for V(D)J recombination. Lig4 forms a complex with XRCC4, and further interacts with the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and XLF/Cernunnos, which are also required ...
Golden Gate assembly involves digesting DNA sequences containing a type IIS restriction enzyme cut site and ligating them together. Golden Gate Cloning or Golden Gate assembly [1] is a molecular cloning method that allows a researcher to simultaneously and directionally assemble multiple DNA fragments into a single piece using Type IIS restriction enzymes and T4 DNA ligase.

There are typically three steps involved in a DNA RCA reaction: Circular template ligation, which can be conducted via template mediated enzymatic ligation (e.g., T4 DNA ligase) or template-free ligation using special DNA ligases (i.e., CircLigase). Primer-induced single-strand DNA elongation. Multiple primers can be employed to hybridize with ...
Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides (approximately 150 to 200 base pairs long in eukaryotes) which are synthesized discontinuously and later linked together by the enzyme DNA ligase to create the lagging strand during DNA replication. [ 1] They were discovered in the 1960s by the Japanese molecular biologists Reiji and ...
Sequencing by ligation is a DNA sequencing method that uses the enzyme DNA ligase to identify the nucleotide present at a given position in a DNA sequence. Unlike most currently popular DNA sequencing methods, this method does not use a DNA polymerase to create a second strand. Instead, the mismatch sensitivity of a DNA ligase enzyme is used to ...
