Abstract

SAMHD1 is the major catabolic enzyme regulating the intracellular concentrations of DNA precursors (dNTPs). The S-phase kinase CDK2-cyclinA phosphorylates SAMHD1 at Thr-592. How this modification affects SAMHD1 function is highly debated. We investigated the role of endogenous SAMHD1 phosphorylation during the cell cycle. Thr-592 phosphorylation occurs first at the G1/S border and is removed during mitotic exit parallel with Thr-phosphorylations of most CDK1 targets. Differential sensitivity to the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid suggested different involvement of the PP1 and PP2 families dependent upon the time of the cell cycle. SAMHD1 turn-over indicates that Thr-592 phosphorylation does not cause rapid protein degradation. Furthermore, SAMHD1 influenced the size of the four dNTP pools independently of its phosphorylation. Our findings reveal that SAMHD1 is active during the entire cell cycle and performs an important regulatory role during S-phase by contributing with ribonucleotide reductase to maintain dNTP pool balance for proper DNA replication.
