| UniProt functional annotation for Q837V6 | |||
| UniProt code: Q837V6. |
| Organism: | Enterococcus faecalis (strain ATCC 700802 / V583). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Enterococcaceae; Enterococcus. | |
| Function: | DNA ligase that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester linkages between 5'-phosphoryl and 3'-hydroxyl groups in double- stranded DNA using NAD as a coenzyme and as the energy source for the reaction. It is essential for DNA replication and repair of damaged DNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01588}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=NAD(+) + (deoxyribonucleotide)(n)-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho- (deoxyribonucleotide)(m) = (deoxyribonucleotide)(n+m) + AMP + beta- nicotinamide D-nucleotide.; EC=6.5.1.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01588}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01588}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01588}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the NAD-dependent DNA ligase family. LigA subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01588}. | |
