Abstract excerpt
In lower eukaryotes, Rad18 plays a crucial role in postreplication repair. Previously, we isolated a human homologue of RAD18 (hRAD18) and showed that human cells overexpressing hRad18 protein with a mutation in the RING finger motif are defective in postreplication repair. Here, we report the construction of RAD18-knockout mouse embryonic stem cells by gene targeting. These cells had almost the same growth rate...
