    Description: SAMHD1, an analogue of the murine interferon (IFN)-gamma-induced gene Mg11 (ref. 1), has recently been identified as a human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) restriction factor that blocks early-stage virus replication in dendritic and other myeloid cells and is the target of the lentiviral protein Vpx, which can relieve HIV-1 restriction. SAMHD1 is also associated with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS), an inflammatory encephalopathy characterized by chronic cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis and elevated levels of the antiviral cytokine IFN-alpha. The pathology associated with AGS resembles congenital viral infection, such as transplacentally acquired HIV. Here we show that human SAMHD1 is a potent dGTP-stimulated triphosphohydrolase that converts deoxynucleoside triphosphates to the constituent deoxynucleoside and inorganic triphosphate. The crystal structure of the catalytic core of SAMHD1 reveals that the protein is dimeric and indicates a molecular basis for dGTP stimulation of catalytic activity against dNTPs. We propose that SAMHD1, which is highly expressed in dendritic cells, restricts HIV-1 replication by hydrolysing the majority of cellular dNTPs, thus inhibiting reverse transcription and viral complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Goldstone, David C -- Ennis-Adeniran, Valerie -- Hedden, Joseph J -- Groom, Harriet C T -- Rice, Gillian I -- Christodoulou, Evangelos -- Walker, Philip A -- Kelly, Geoff -- Haire, Lesley F -- Yap, Melvyn W -- de Carvalho, Luiz Pedro S -- Stoye, Jonathan P -- Crow, Yanick J -- Taylor, Ian A -- Webb, Michelle -- MC_U117512710/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117533887/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117565647/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_UP_A253_1111/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U117512710/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U117565647/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 Nov 6;480(7377):379-82. doi: 10.1038/nature10623.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Molecular Structure, MRC National Institute for Medical Research, London NW7 1AA, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22056990" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Lentiviruses contain accessory genes that have evolved to counteract the effects of host cellular defence proteins that inhibit productive infection. One such restriction factor, SAMHD1, inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection of myeloid-lineage cells as well as resting CD4(+) T cells by reducing the cellular deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphate (dNTP) concentration to a level at which the viral reverse transcriptase cannot function. In other lentiviruses, including HIV-2 and related simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs), SAMHD1 restriction is overcome by the action of viral accessory protein x (Vpx) or the related viral protein r (Vpr) that target and recruit SAMHD1 for proteasomal degradation. The molecular mechanism by which these viral proteins are able to usurp the host cell's ubiquitination machinery to destroy the cell's protection against these viruses has not been defined. Here we present the crystal structure of a ternary complex of Vpx with the human E3 ligase substrate adaptor DCAF1 and the carboxy-terminal region of human SAMHD1. Vpx is made up of a three-helical bundle stabilized by a zinc finger motif, and wraps tightly around the disc-shaped DCAF1 molecule to present a new molecular surface. This adapted surface is then able to recruit SAMHD1 via its C terminus, making it a competent substrate for the E3 ligase to mark for proteasomal degradation. The structure reported here provides a molecular description of how a lentiviral accessory protein is able to subvert the cell's normal protein degradation pathway to inactivate the cellular viral defence system.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3886899/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3886899/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schwefel, David -- Groom, Harriet C T -- Boucherit, Virginie C -- Christodoulou, Evangelos -- Walker, Philip A -- Stoye, Jonathan P -- Bishop, Kate N -- Taylor, Ian A -- 084955/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- MC_U117512710/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117565647/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117592729/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U117512710/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U11756564/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U117592729/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2014 Jan 9;505(7482):234-8. doi: 10.1038/nature12815.

    Description: The restriction factor Fv1 confers resistance to murine leukemia virus (MLV), blocking progression of the viral life cycle after reverse transcription, but before integration into the host chromosome. It is known that the specificity of restriction is determined by both the restriction factor and the viral capsid (CA), but a direct interaction between Fv1 and MLV CA has not yet been demonstrated. With the development of a previously unexplored method for in vitro polymerization of MLV CA, it has now been possible to display a binding interaction between Fv1 and MLV CA. C-terminally His-tagged CA molecules were assembled on Ni-chelating lipid nanotubes, and analysis by electron microscopy revealed the formation of a regular lattice. Comparison of binding data with existing restriction data confirmed the specificity of the binding interaction, with multiple positions of both Fv1 and CA shown to influence binding specificity.

    Description: Restriction factors (RFs) form important components of host defenses to retroviral infection. The Fv1, Trim5α, and TrimCyp RFs contain N-terminal dimerization and C-terminal specificity domains that target assembled retroviral capsid (CA) proteins enclosing the viral core. However, the molecular detail of the interaction between RFs and their CA targets is...
