Designing a Western blot for DNA ligase 4? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the LIG4 Western Blot GuideFacts about DNA ligase 4.
The LIG4-XRCC4 complex accounts for the NHEJ ligation step, and XRCC4 enhances the linking activity of LIG4. Binding of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex to DNA ends is determined by the assembly of the DNA- dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK to these DNA ends.
