LIG4
LIG4 is a human gene that encodes the protein DNA Ligase IV.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent DNA ligase that joins double-strand breaks during the non-homologous end joining pathway of double-strand break repair. It is also essential for V(D)J recombination. Lig4 forms a complex with XRCC4, and further interacts with the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and XLF/Cernunnos, which are also required for NHEJ. The crystal structure of the Lig4/XRCC4 complex has been resolved. Defects in this gene are the cause of LIG4 syndrome. The yeast homolog of Lig4 is Dnl4.
LIG4 Syndrome
In humans, deficiency of DNA ligase 4 results in a clinical condition known as LIG4 syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by cellular radiation sensitivity, growth retardation, developmental delay, microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, increased disposition to leukemia, variable degrees of immunodeficiency and reduced number of blood cells.
Haematopoietic stem cell aging
Accumulation of DNA damage leading to stem cell exhaustion is regarded as an important aspect of aging. Deficiency of lig4 in pluripotent stem cells impairs Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and results in accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks and enhanced apoptosis. Lig4 deficiency in the mouse causes a progressive loss of haematopoietic stem cells and bone marrow cellularity during aging. The sensitivity of haematopoietic stem cells to lig4 deficiency suggests that lig4-mediated NHEJ is a key determinant of the ability of stem cells to maintain themselves against physiological stress over time.

Cara De Pizza
by: La CucaEs una cara? No!
Es una Pizza? No!
Es una cara? No!
Es una Pizza? No!
Es la Senhorita cara de Pizza!!!
Dicen que su madre durante el embarazo
Se comio diez pizzas de un chingadazo
Andan diciendo que es una mutante
(A mi no me interesa yo quiero ser su amante)
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
Yo te amo Cara de Pizza
(Eres un amor)
Tiene un corazon que es la envidia de cualquiera
Yo la adorara hasta el dia en que se muriera
Ella es una belleza (ella si tiene cabeza)
Ella si que me emociona (ella es buena persona)
Ella si se ve sabrosa (yo quiero que sea mi esposa)
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
Yo te amo Cara de Pizza
Es como apreciar una obra de arte
Picasso la tendria como unico estandarte
Quiero estirarle sus cachetes de queso
En su boquita de pimiento yo quiero darle un beso
Yo la adoraria de cualquier manera
Con mariscos en la cara a la marinera!
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
Yo te amo Cara de Pizza
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
Yo te amo Cara de Pizza
(Eres un amor)
Ahora voy a verla y voy bien alimentado
No vaya a pasar lo que paso aquel dia pasado
Llegue con mucha hambre y le chingue una rebanada
(Espero me perdone y no me mande a la chingada)
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
Yo te amo Cara de Pizza
Senhorita Cara de Pizza
