DNA ligases catalyse the crucial step of joining the breaks in duplex DNA during DNA replication, repair and recombination, utilizing either ATP or NAD(+) as a cofactor [1]. This family is a small domain found after the adenylation domain DNA_ligase_N in NAD+-dependent ligases (IPR001679). OB-fold domains generally are involved in nucleic acid binding.
