Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) plays a key role in the synthesis of DNA and is the only enzyme responsible for the reduction of ribonucleotides to their corresponding deoxyribonucleotides, providing a balanced supply of precursors for DNA synthesis and repair. There are three known human RR subunits, hRRM1, hRRM2, and p53R2, which is encoded by a p53 target gene. It is not clear whether p53 and RR can directly...
