This list contains a list of EC numbers for the sixth group, EC 6, ligases, placed in numerical order as determined by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. All official information is tabulated at the website of the committee.[1] The database is developed and maintained by Andrew McDonald.[2]

EC 6.1.1.28: "proline/cysteine—tRNA ligase". Later published work having demonstrated that this was not a genuine enzyme, EC 6.1.1.28 was withdrawn at the public-review stage before being made official.
EC 6.3.1.16: [[The enzyme was discovered at the public-review stage to have been misclassified and so was withdrawn. See EC6.3.3.6, carbapenam-3-carboxylate synthase]]
EC 6.3.2.19: The ubiquitinylation process is now known to be performed by several enzymes in sequence, starting with EC6.2.1.45 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1) and followed by several transfer reactions, including those of EC2.3.2.23 (E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme) and EC2.3.2.27 (RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase)
EC 6.3.2.21: [[The reaction is performed by the sequential action of EC6.2.1.45 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1), several ubiquitin transferases and finally by EC2.3.2.27 (ubiquitin transferase RING E3 (calmodulin-selective))|The reaction is performed by the sequential action of EC6.2.1.45 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1), several ubiquitin transferases and finally by EC2.3.2.27 [ubiquitin transferase RING E3 (calmodulin-selective)]]]
EC 6.3.2.22: Now EC6.3.1.14, diphthine—ammonia ligase.
EC 6.3.2.27: [[The activity is covered by two independent enzymes, EC6.3.2.38 N^2-citryl-N^6-acetyl-N^6-hydroxylysine synthase, and EC6.3.2.39, aerobactin synthase|The activity is covered by two independent enzymes, EC6.3.2.38N2-citryl-N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxylysine synthase, and EC6.3.2.39, aerobactin synthase]]
EC 6.3.2.28: Now EC6.3.2.49, L-alanine-L-anticapsin ligase
EC 6.3.5.8: Now EC2.6.1.85, aminodeoxychorismate synthase. As ATP is not hydrolysed during the reaction, the classification of the enzyme as a ligase was incorrect
