The interface between the A and C subunits is essential for the tetramer formation of SAMHD1C. A, mutations of residues involved in the interactions between subunits A and C of SAMHD1 affect tetramer formation. Purified recombinant SAMHD1C and SAMHD1C mutant proteins were incubated with 50 mm dGTP and separated by size-exclusion chromatography. The elution profiles were monitored by ultraviolet absorbance at A280 and compared with known molecular size markers. mAU, milliabsorbance units. B, mutations of residues involved the interactions between subunits A and C of SAMHD1C affect dNTPase activity. Purified recombinant SAMHD1C and SAMHD1C mutant proteins were analyzed for dNTPase activity as described under “Experimental Procedures,” and the activity of SAMHD1C was set to 100%. The S.D. from triplicate samples (n = 3) is shown.
