Abstract excerpt
We have demonstrated previously that the toxicity of 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (hmdUrd) to Chinese hamster fibroblasts (V79 cells) results from enzymatic removal of large numbers of hydroxymethyluracil residues from the DNA backbone [Boorstein,R. et al. (1992) Mol. Cell. Biol., 12, 5536-5540]. Here we report that a significant portion of the hmdUrd-induced cell death that is dependent on DNA base excision...
