Uracil-induced replication stress drives mutations, genome instability, anti-cancer treatment efficacy, and resistance

Abstract excerpt

Uracil incorporation into DNA, as a result of nucleotide pool imbalances or cytosine deamination (e.g., through APOBEC3A/3B), can result in replication stress and is the most common source of mutations in cancer and aging. Despite the critical role of uracil in genome instability, cancer development, and cancer therapy, only now is there emerging data on its impact on fundamental processes such as DNA replication...
