DNA Ligase C and Prim-PolC participate in base excision repair in mycobacteria

Ligase D is a conserved DNA repair protein complex that repairs double-strand breaks in stationary phase prokaryotes. Here the authors show that orthologous Ligase C has a role in base excision repair during stationary phase.
