A variety of cellular proteins have the ability to recognize DNA lesions induced by the anti-cancer drug cisplatin, with diverse consequences on their repair and the therapeutic effectiveness of this drug. We report a novel gene involved in the cell response to cisplatin in vertebrates. The RDM1 (for RAD52 Motif 1) gene was identified whilst searching databases for sequences showing similarities to RAD52, a protein involved in homologous recombination and DNA double-strand break repair. Ablation of RDM1 in the chicken B cell line DT40 led to a more than 3-fold increase in sensitivity to cisplatin. However, RDM1-/- cells were not hypersensitive to DNA damages caused by ionizing radiation, UV-irradiation or the alkylating agent methylmethane sulfonate. The RDM1 protein displays a nucleic-acid binding domain of the RNA-recognition-motif (RRM)-type. Using gel-shift assays and electron microscopy, we show that purified, recombinant chicken RDM1 protein interacts with single-stranded DNA as well as double-stranded DNA, on which it assembles filament-like structures. Notably, RDM1 recognizes DNA distortions induced by cisplatin-DNA adducts in vitro. Finally, human RDM1 transcripts are abundant in the testis, suggesting a possible role during spermatogenesis.
