Abstract

Sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic acid domain containing protein-1 (SAMHD1) is a deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) hydrolase that controls dNTP pools and detoxifies cancer cells of chemotherapy metabolites. TH6342 is a recently reported small molecule inhibitor of SAMHD1 that interacts with the protein in vitro and non-competitively prevents dimerisation, a prerequisite for catalysis. The binding site of TH6342 on SAMHD1 is currently unknown. In the present study we demonstrate that the N-terminal SAM domain of SAMHD1 is not required for inhibition by TH6342.
