A Mitochondrial Orthologue of the dNTP Triphosphohydrolase SAMHD1 Is Essential and Controls Pyrimidine Homeostasis in Trypanosoma brucei.

Abstract:

:The maintenance of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) homeostasis through synthesis and degradation is critical for accurate genomic and mitochondrial DNA replication fidelity. Trypanosoma brucei makes use of both the salvage and de novo pathways for the provision of pyrimidine dNTPs. In this respect, the sterile α motif and histidine-aspartate domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) appears to be the most relevant dNTPase controlling dNTP/deoxynucleoside homeostasis in mammalian cells. Here, we have characterized the role of a unique trypanosomal SAMHD1 orthologue denominated TbHD52. Our results show that TbHD52 is a mitochondrial enzyme essential in bloodstream forms of T. brucei. Knockout cells are pyrimidine auxotrophs that exhibit strong defects in genomic integrity, cell cycle progression, and nuclear DNA and kinetoplast segregation in the absence of extracellular thymidine. The lack of TbHD52 can be counteracted by the overexpression of human dCMP deaminase, an enzyme that is directly involved in dUMP formation yet absent in trypanosomes. Furthermore, the cellular dNTP quantification and metabolomic analysis of TbHD52 null mutants revealed perturbations in the nucleotide metabolism with a substantial accumulation of dCTP and cytosine-derived metabolites while dTTP formation was significantly reduced. We propose that this HD-domain-containing protein unique to kinetoplastids plays an essential role in pyrimidine dNTP homeostasis and contributes to the provision of deoxycytidine required for cellular dTTP biosynthesis.
