Hypothetical model showing roles of DDK and JNK in UV-inducible Rad18 phosphorylation and DNA damage tolerance. UV induces JNK-mediated phosphorylation of S409 and DDK-mediated phosphorylation of the S-box serine cluster. UV-induced phosphorylation of both S409 and the S-box is Chk1 dependent (step 1). S409 and the S-box reside in the Polη-binding region of Rad18 (residues 401–445). S409 and S-box phosphorylations promote Rad18–Polη interactions (step 2), thereby facilitating Rad18-dependent chaperoning of Polη to sites of replication stalling, where the Rad18–Polη complex associates with RPA-coated ssDNA (step 3).
