6.5.1.2 Ca2+ 10fold lower activation than Mn2+, maximal activity at 2 mM 672811 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ 40% of activity obtained with Mg2+ 651212 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ 60% as active as Mg2+ in activation as reported in one study, no activity in another 1909, 1910 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ activates wild-type enzyme and mutant enzyme DELTA582-667 661789 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ in presence of Ca2+ MtuLigA is able to carry out the first two steps of ligation reaction that is the transfer of AMP to enzyme from NAD+ and further transfer of it to substrate to form DNA-adenylate intermediate. Ca2+ can not support nick closure activity 677062 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ supports formation of DNA-adenylate intermediate 653379 6.5.1.2 Ca2+ the enzyme requires a divalent cation like Ca2+, optimal activity at about 20 mM Ca2+ 714854 6.5.1.2 Co2+ 25% of the activity with Mg2+ 653388 6.5.1.2 Co2+ can partially substitute for Mg2+ 652175 6.5.1.2 Co2+ no activity observed in the presence of 728580
