E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RAD18 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RAD18 gene.[3][4][5]

The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to S. cerevisiae DNA damage repair protein Rad18. Yeast Rad18 functions through its interaction with Rad6, which is a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme required for post-replication repair of damaged DNA. Similar to its yeast counterpart, this protein is able to interact with the human homolog of yeast Rad6 protein through a conserved ring finger motif. Mutation of this motif results in defective replication of UV-damaged DNA and hypersensitivity to multiple mutagens.[5]

Animal models

Model organisms have been used in the study of RAD18 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rad18tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi,[6] was generated as part of the EUCOMM program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[7][8][9][10][11] Mice lacking Rad18 had no significant defects in viability or fertility,[12][13] therefore male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[8][14][15]

Twenty five tests were carried out and four significant phenotypes were reported:[15]

Interactions

RAD18 has been shown to interact with HLTF,[23] UBE2B[3][4] and UBE2A.[3][4]
