How can you use “ligases” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The anti-theophylline aptamer was attached at the same point as had previously proven successful in the design of theophylline-dependent cleavases and ligases [ 13 14 ] .
Many RING-finger-containing proteins that may act as ubiquitin ligases under certain conditions have otherwise diverse structures and functions [ 32 ] . It is clear that Siah can act in the ubiquitin pathway, targeting some proteins for proteolysis, under certain circumstances.
In particular, one subunit—Csn5—moderates SCF (Skp1–cullin–F box) and other cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligases by removal of the ubiquitin-like Rub1/Nedd8 molecule from the cullin subunit of the ligase complex.
The ubiquitination of proteins is regulated through precise selection of protein substrates by specific E3 ubiquitin ligases (Pickart 2001).
While Csn5 is thought to impede the action of ubiquitin ligases through shaving cullins from their Rub1/Nedd8 modification (and possibly also by deubiquitinating substrates bound to the cullins), the outcome of Rpn11 inhibition will depend largely on whether Rpn11 participates primarily in shaving substrates from their chains, promoting release and rescue, or in trimming the polyubiquitin tag, allowing for proteolysis quality control (Figure 2).
