LIG3:XRCC1, a complex of DNA ligase 3 and DNA repair protein XRCC1, is recruited to the single nucleotide gap at the SSB (single strand break) site bound by NEIL1 or NEIL2, and POLB, along with polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase PNKP. A large complex containing NEIL1 or NEIL2, PNKP, POLB, LIG3 and XRCC1 can be co-immunoprecipitated from cells undergoing NEIL1 or NEIL2-mediated base excision repair via single nucleotide replacement. NEIL1 interacts with POLB and LIG3 directly, but not with PNKP or XRCC1 (Wiederhold et al. 2004, Das et al. 2006). PNKP directly binds XRCC1, LIG3 and POLB, and the interaction with XRCC1 is essential for the 3'-phosphatase activity of PNKP (Whitehouse et al. 2001).
