Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome Gene and HIV-1 Restriction Factor SAMHD1 Is a dGTP-regulated Deoxynucleotide Triphosphohydrolase

TL;DR: The physiological function of the SAMHD1 protein was determined, the gene was cloned, recombinant protein was produced, and the catalytic activity of the purified enzyme was identified, and it was shown that SAM HD1 contains a dGTP-regulated deoxynucleotide triphosphohydrolase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The exonuclease TREX1 is in the SET complex and acts in concert with NM23-H1 to degrade DNA during granzyme A-mediated cell death.

TL;DR: This work has found the 3'-to-5' exonuclease TREX1, but not its close homolog TREX2, in the SET complex, which resides in an endoplasmic reticulum-associated complex that translocates to the nucleus in response to superoxide generation by granzyme A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Expression of the TREX1 and TREX2 cDNA Sequences Encoding Mammalian 3′→5′ Exonucleases

TL;DR: Identification of the TREX1 and TREX2 cDNA sequences provides the genetic tools to investigate the physiological roles of these exonucleases in mammalian DNA replication, repair, and recombination pathways.
