Protein FULL name:DNA ligase 4 [Mus musculus].Lig4 (Mus musculus) is product of expression of Lig4 gene. FUNCTION: Efficiently joins single-strand breaks in a double- stranded polydeoxynucleotide in an ATP-dependent reaction. Involved in DNA nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. The LIG4-XRCC4 complex is responsible for the NHEJ ligation step, and XRCC4 enhances the joining activity of LIG4. Binding of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex to DNA ends is dependent on the assembly of the DNA- dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK to these DNA ends (By similarity). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + (deoxyribonucleotide)(n) + (deoxyribonucleotide)(m) = AMP + diphosphate + (deoxyribonucleotide)(n+m). COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Binds to XRCC4. The LIG4-XRCC4 complex has probably a 1:2 stoichiometry. The LIG4-XRCC4 heteromer associates in a DNA- dependent manner with the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK, formed by the Ku p70/p86 dimer (G22P1/G22P2) and PRKDC. Interacts with APLF (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATP-dependent DNA ligase family. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 BRCT domains.
