The enzyme, typically found in bacteria, 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 NAD+, 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 6.5.1.1, DNA ligase (ATP), EC 6.5.1.6, DNA ligase (ATP or NAD+), and EC 6.5.1.7, DNA ligase (ATP, ADP or GTP).

3 steps of reaction: 1. adenylation of the ligase in the presence of NAD+, 2. transferring the adenylate moiety to the 5'-phosphate of the nicked DNA substrate, 3. sealing the nick through the formation of a phosphodiester bond

in addition to the unique N-terminal domain Ia that stimulates ligase-AMP formation, there are three C-terminal domains that extend from the OB domain: a small zinc-binding (Zn) domain, a helix-hairpin-helix domain, and a BRCA1 C-terminal domain
50°C: about 50% of maximal activity of wild-type enzyme and of mutant enzyme DELTA582-667, 80°C: about 50% of maximal activity of wild-type enzyme and mutant enzyme DELTA582-667
wild-type enzyme is stable for 40 min, about 20% loss of activity after 180 min. Mutant enzyme DELTA582-667 loses 20% of its activity after 80 min and 90% of its activity after 170 min
wild-type enzyme is stable for 20 min, about 50% loss of activity after 100 min. Mutant enzyme DELTA582-667 loses 30% of its initial activity after 40 min, completely loses activity after 80 min
