Human DNA ligase IV is able to use NAD+ as an alternative adenylation donor for DNA ends ligation.


ABSTRACT: All the eukaryotic DNA ligases are known to use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for DNA ligation. Here, we report that human DNA ligase IV, a key enzyme in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, is able to use NAD+ as a substrate for double-stranded DNA ligation. In the in vitro ligation assays, we show that the recombinant Ligase IV can use both ATP and NAD+ for DNA ligation. For NAD+-mediated ligation, the BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domain of Ligase IV recognizes NAD+ and facilitates the adenylation of Ligase IV, the first step of ligation. Although XRCC4, the functional partner of Ligase IV, is not required for the NAD+-mediated adenylation, it regulates the transfer of AMP moiety from Ligase IV to the DNA end. Moreover, cancer-associated mutation in the BRCT domain of Ligase IV disrupts the interaction with NAD+, thus abolishes the NAD+-mediated adenylation of Ligase IV and DSB ligation. Disrupting the NAD+ recognition site in the BRCT domain impairs non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) in cell. Taken together, our study reveals that in addition to ATP, Ligase IV may use NAD+ as an alternative adenylation donor for NHEJ repair and maintaining genomic stability.
