Deoxynucleoside Salvage Facilitates DNA Repair During Ribonucleotide Reductase Blockade in Human Cervical Cancers
26 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cells generate 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) for both replication and repair of damaged DNA predominantly through de novo reduction of intracellular ribonucleotides by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). Cells can also salvage deoxynucleosides by deoxycytidine kinase/thymidine kinase 1 in the cytosol or by deoxyguanosine kinase/thymidine kinase 2 in mitochondria. In this study we investigated whether...
