SAMHD1 (sterile α motif and histidine (H) aspartate (D) domain-containing protein 1) is known for its antiviral activity of hydrolysing deoxynucleotides required for virus replication. Daddacha et al. identify a hydrolase-independent, moonlighting function of SAMHD1 that facilitates homologous recombination of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by promoting recruitment of C-terminal binding protein interacting protein (CTIP), a DNA-end resection factor, to damaged DNA. These findings could benefit anticancer treatment.
SAMHD1(无酶性α基序和天冬氨酸(D)域包含蛋白 1)以其水解病毒复制所需的脱氧核苷酸的抗病毒活性而闻名。Daddacha 等人发现了 SAMHD1 的一种非水解酶、兼职功能,通过促进 DNA 末端切除因子 C-terminal binding protein interacting protein(CTIP)与受损 DNA 的募集,促进 DNA 双链断裂(DSB)的同源重组。这些发现可能有益于癌症治疗。
