- DnaA-HU complex
A protein-DNA complex containing DNA-bound DnaA attached to HU. HU is a dimer encoded by two closely related genes. Essential for the initiation of replication in bacteria; stimulates the DnaA-dependent unwinding of oriC.
- HU-DNA complex
A protein-DNA complex that consists of HU heterodimers (an alpha and a beta chain) assembled into octamers along DNA. HU binds to double-stranded DNA in a structure- and sequence-specific manner and bends the DNA into a nucleosome-like structure.
- DNA ligase (ATP) activity
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + deoxyribonucleotide(n) + deoxyribonucleotide(m) = AMP + diphosphate + deoxyribonucleotide(n+m).
- DNA ligase (NAD+) activity
Catalysis of the reaction: NAD+ + deoxyribonucleotide(n) + deoxyribonucleotide(m) = AMP + nicotinamide nucleotide + deoxyribonucleotide(n+m).
- RNA ligase (ATP) activity
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + (ribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP + diphosphate.
