5-Formyluracil is a major oxidation product of thymine, formed in DNA in yields comparable to that of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine by exposure to gamma -irradiation. Whereas the repair pathways for removal and the biological effects of persisting 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine are much elucidated, much less attention has been paid to the cellular implications of 5-formyluracil in DNA. Here we review the present state of knowledge in this important area within research on oxidative DNA damage. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
