ABSTRACT
The Rad1 gene is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad1 ortholog promotes cell survival against DNA damage and is required for G(2)/M checkpoint activation. In this study, mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells with a targeted deletion of Mrad1, the mouse ortholog of this gene, were created to evaluate its function in mammalian cells. Mrad1 (-/-) ES cells were highly sensitive to ultraviolet-light (UV light), hydroxyurea (HU) and gamma rays, and were defective in G(2)/M as well as S/M checkpoints. These data indicate that Mrad1 is required for repairing DNA lesions induced by UV-light, HU and gamma rays, and for mediating G(2)/M and S/M checkpoint controls. We further demonstrated that Mrad1 plays an important role in homologous recombination repair (HRR) in ES cells, but a minor HRR role in differentiated mouse cells.
