Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24561620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25931565}. Note=Mainly localizes in the nucleus (PubMed:24561620). Colocalizes with PCNA on replication sites (PubMed:24561620). Associates with chromatin (PubMed:25931565). Accumulates with RAD18 and the SMC5-SMC6 complex at replication-coupled DNA interstrand repair and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites on chromatin in a ubiquitin-dependent manner (PubMed:25931565). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24561620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25931565}.
