Platform-directed allostery and quaternary structure dynamics of SAMHD1 catalysis (2024)
Journal Article
Acton, O. J., Sheppard, D., Kunzelmann, S., Caswell, S. J., Nans, A., Burgess, A. J. O., …Taylor, I. A. (2024). Platform-directed allostery and quaternary structure dynamics of SAMHD1 catalysis. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 3775. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48237-w

SAMHD1 regulates cellular nucleotide homeostasis, controlling dNTP levels by catalysing their hydrolysis into 2’-deoxynucleosides and triphosphate. In differentiated CD4+ macrophage and resting T-cells SAMHD1 activity results in the inhibition of HIV...

Attenuation of reverse transcriptase facilitates SAMHD1 restriction of HIV-1 in cycling cells (2023)
Journal Article
Tsai, M. C., Caswell, S. J., Morris, E. R., Mann, M. C., Pennell, S., Kelly, G., …Bishop, K. N. (2023). Attenuation of reverse transcriptase facilitates SAMHD1 restriction of HIV-1 in cycling cells. Retrovirology, 20(1), Article 5. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12977-023-00620-z

SAMHD1 is a deoxynucleotide triphosphohydrolase that restricts replication of HIV-1 in differentiated leucocytes. HIV-1 is not restricted in cycling cells and it has been proposed that this is due to phosphorylation of SAMHD1 at T592 in these cells i...
