Cancer-promoting protein introduces mistakes in DNA pairing

Abstract: DNA is as predictable as a bad sitcom--adenine lines up opposite thymine, and cytosine faces guanine. But occasionally nucleotides don't pair correctly, a flaw that can lead to cancer. A protein implicated in some tumors disrupts cells' ability to fix these errors, according to a new study. The work reveals a new function for the protein and might allow doctors to refine cancer treatments.
