Many types of tumor cells alter metabolic pathways to meet their energy and biosynthetic demands for proliferation or stress adaptation. In this issue of Cell, Kong etal. find that the glycolytic metabolite methylglyoxal causes cancer-associated mutant single-base substitution features by inducing BRCA2 proteolysis, leading to functional haploinsufficiency of BRCA2.
