Summary
SAMHD1 is specifically targeted for degradation by human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) viral protein VPX, and mutations in SAMHD1 causes Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, which mimics symptoms of congenital viral infection.
SAMHD1 is expressed in dendritic and myeloid cells and acts as an anti-retroviral protein that inhibits the early stages of the viral life cycle. Silencing of SAMHD1 leads to significant accumulation of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) DNA in infected cells.
SAMHD1 inhibits HIV replication by depleting intracellular dNTPs, which are required for viral reverse transcriptase to synthesize viral DNA.
Full activation of SAMHD1 involves ordered binding of GTP and substrate dNTPs to activator and substrate sites on the enzyme.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene may play a role in regulation of the innate immune response. The encoded protein is upregulated in response to viral infection and may be involved in mediation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha proinflammatory responses. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
