| ncRNA Symbol: | RAD18 | | Full Name: | RAD18, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | RNF73 | | Chromosome: | chr3 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 8775402 | End Site(bp): | 8963773 | | | Gene Summary: | 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 an 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
