ATR kinase is a central regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR) and cell cycle
checkpoints. ATR kinase inhibitors (ATRi's) combine with radiation to generate CD8+ T cell-
dependent responses in mouse models of cancer. We show that ATRi's induce cyclin-
dependent kinase 1 (CDK1)-dependent origin firing across active replicons in CD8+ T cells
activated ex vivo while simultaneously decreasing the activity of rate-limiting enzymes for
nucleotide biosynthesis. These pleiotropic effects of ATRi induce deoxyuridine (dU) …
