RAD9participates in promoting resistance to DNA damage, cell cycle checkpoint control, DNA repair, apoptosis, embryogenesis, and regulation of transcription. A paralogue ofRAD9(namedRAD9B) has been identified. To define the function of mouseRad9b(Mrad9b), embryonic stem (ES) cells with a targeted gene deletion were constructed and used to generateMrad9bmutant mice.Mrad9b−/−embryos are resorbed after E7.5 while some of the heterozygotes die between E12.5 and a few days after birth.Mrad9bis expressed in embryonic brain andMrad9b+/−embryos exhibit abnormal neural tube closure.Mrad9b−/−mouse embryonic fibroblasts are not viable.Mrad9b−/−ES cells are more sensitive to gamma rays and mitomycin C thanMrad9b+/+controls, but show normal gamma‐ray‐induced G2/M checkpoint control. There is no evidence of spontaneous genomic instability inMrad9b−/−cells. Our findings thus indicate thatMrad9bis essential for embryonic development and mediates resistance to certain DNA damaging agents. Developmental Dynamics 239:2837–2850, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
