This entry includes RNA ligase 1 from animals (RLIG1), which functions as an RNA ligase in vitro [1]. This protein catalyses ATP-dependent RNA ligation via a three-step mechanism, involving tandem auto- and RNA AMPylation. It exhibits selectivity for single-stranded RNA substrates. RLIG1 may play a role in maintaining RNA integrity under stress conditions, such as in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) [1].
