摘要
T4 DNA ligase (EC 6.5,1.1), one of the most widely used enzymes in genetic engineering, transfers AMP from the AMP complex to tripolyphosphate, ADP, ATP, GTP or dATP producing p(4)A, Ap(3)A, Ap(4)A, Ap(4)G and Ap(4)dA, respectively. Nicked DNA competes very effectively with GTP for the synthesis of Ap(4)G and, conversely, tripolyphosphate (or GTP) inhibits the ligation of DNA by the ligase, As T4 DNA ligase has similar requirements for ATP as the mammalian DNA ligase(s), the latter enzyme(s) could also synthesize dinucleoside polyphosphates, The present report may be related to the recent finding that human Fhit (fragile histidine triad) protein, encoded by the FHIT putative tumor suppressor gene, is a typical dinucleoside 5',5 "-P-1,P-3-triphosphate (Ap(3)A) hydrolase (EC 3.6,1.29), (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
