Research Abstract |
Accumulating evidences have suggested that the host cells possess intrinsic anti-viral factors. SAMHD1 is a newly identified anti-HIV host factor that has a dNTP triphosphohydrolase activity and depletes intracellular dNTP pools in non-dividing myeloid cells. Since DNA viruses utilize cellular dNTPs, we investigated whether SAMHD1 limits the replication of DNA viruses in non-dividing myeloid target cells. Indeed, a double stranded DNA viruses, herpes simplex virus type 1, are subject to SAMHD1 restriction in non-dividing target cells in a dNTP dependent manner. This study suggests that SAMHD1 is a potential innate anti-viral player that suppresses the replication of a wide range of DNA viruses as well as retroviruses that infect non-dividing myeloid cells during infection.
