The enzyme catalyses the ligation of DNA strands with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini, forming a phosphodiester and sealing certain types of single-strand breaks in duplex DNA. Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a lysine residue. The adenylate group is then transferred to the 5'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-[DNA]. Finally, the enzyme catalyses a nucleophilic attack of the 3'-OH terminus on the capped terminus, which results in formation of the phosphodiester bond and release of the adenylate. RNA can also act as substrate, to some extent. cf. EC 6.5.1.2, DNA ligase (NAD+), EC 6.5.1.6, DNA ligase (ATP or NAD+), and EC 6.5.1.7, DNA ligase (ATP, ADP or GTP).

in the nick-closing assay, the recombinant ligase shows more than 80% activity in the temperature range 65-80°C. Ligase activity declines at temperatures below 35°C. A drastic decrease in activity is observed between 80 and 90°C
the ApeLig gene is originally annotated as a protein of 619 amino acids, with a calculated mass of 69196.2 Da. Later it was reannotated as a protein of 602 amino acids (67747.6 Da), in which 17 amino acids are truncated from the N-terminus of the originally annotated protein. The UniProt-number refers to the 602 amino acid protein

the ApeLig gene is originally annotated as a protein of 619 amino acids, with a calculated mass of 69196.2 Da. Later it was reannotated as a protein of 602 amino acids (67747.6 Da), in which 17 amino acids are truncated from the N-terminus of the originally annotated protein. The authors of this reference refer to the 619 amino acid protein containing the mutation at position F132. According to the UniProt numbering the position of this mutation is 115. Surface plasmon resonance analyses reveals that the F132A mutant does not interact with an immobilized subunit of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (which is known as a DNA sliding clamp that acts as a platform for the assembly of enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair). No stimulation of the ligation activity of the F132A protein by the proliferating cell nuclear antigen can be detected in vitro. These results indicate that the phenylalanine, which is located the predicted proliferating cell nuclear antigen-binding region in the ligase, has a critical role for the physical and functional interaction with proliferating cell nuclear antigen
