Structural insights into LIG4 syndrome mutations and polymorphisms. a Known LIG4 syndrome mutations (residues in space-filling representation, hot pink) mapped onto the LigIV closed DNA–adenylate structure (protein in purple, DNA in green). b Relative positions of mutations near the AMP (cyan) binding site of human LigIV that have been associated with LigIV deficiency. c Conformation of the LigIV N-terminus (orange), and its putative role in protein folding and stability. Thr9 makes a putative hydrogen bond with Gln146, which could be disrupted when mutated to isoleucine. d Disposition of residues in Motif Va (magenta, with Gly469 in red), in relation to the bound DNA substrate (green)
