HUMAN DNA LIGASE III

摘要

A human DNA Ligase III polypeptide and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptide and a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptide via gene therapy for the treatment of disorders associated with a defect in DNA Ligase III. Antagonists against such polypeptides and their use as a therapeutic to destroy unwanted cells are also disclosed. Diagnostic assays to detect mutant DNA Ligase III genes are also disclosed.
