Background
Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs). Ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase subunit M2 (RRM2) is frequently overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in multiple human cancers (1). RRM2/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway is implicated in tumor invasiveness in gastric cancer (2). RRM2 is highly expressed in melanoma, and correlated with poor prognosis in BRAF-mutant melanoma. Knockdown of RRM2 stabilized the transient response of cells and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model system to BRAF inhibition (3). Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) mediated phosphorylation of RRM2 at Thr33 targets the protein for degradation, allowing cells to maintain balanced dNTP pools (4).
