MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase protein that contains a RING finger, a motif present in a variety of functionally distinct proteins and known to be involved in protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. The protein is involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Mutations in this gene result in Riddle syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit immunodeficient, increased radiosensitivity and age-dependent reduction in male infertility. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

RNF168 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes the ubiquitinylation of H2A-type histones surrounding double strand DNA breaks (1-4).  RNF168-dependent ubiqutylation promotes DSB repair, DNA damage checkpoints, and survival following exposure to ionizing radiation (1;2).  Mutations in RNF168 are associated with RIDDLE syndrome [OMIM: #611943; (1)], a condition characterized by increased radiosensitivity, immunodeficiency, mild motor control and learning difficulties, facial dysmorphism, and short stature.
