Disease relevance of SAMHD1

 

High impact information on SAMHD1

  • In the presence of 75 microM CB 1954, a 50% cell killing was achieved in cells containing Q104Y and the wild-type DT-diaphorase with the activity at approximately 0.67 and 3.8 micromol of DCIP reduced/min/mg of protein, respectively [4].
  • The concentration of photosystem II was determined in thylakoids of dwarf peas by the use of the following methods: absorption change at 325 nm; atrazine binding; and flash yields of oxygen evolution (Emerson-Arnold method), of protons from oxidation of water, and of reduction of DCIP [5].
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and aminooxyacetate (AOA), a malate/aspartate shuttle inhibitor, strongly inhibited WST-1 reduction and reduced DCIP reduction by 40-60%, but failed to affect FeCN reduction, indicating involvement of mitochondrial TCA cycle-derived NADH and a possible role for superoxide in WST-1 but not FeCN reduction [6].
  • The site of inhibition of isoalloalantolactone is located in the span of P680 to QA redox enzymes because the uncoupled electron transport from water to silicomolybdate and, from DPC to DCIP are inhibited approximately to the same extent [7].
  • Plasma membrane NADH oxidoreductase activity, studied using cytosolic NADH as substrate and assayed with DCIP as acceptor, was significantly increased in IDDM patients, suggesting a response to a deficient mitochondrial energetic activity [8].
 

Anatomical context of SAMHD1

  • Plasma membrane oxidoreductases have been described in all cells and use extracellular impermeant electron acceptors (DCIP, Ferricyanide) that are reduced by NADH [9].
 

Associations of SAMHD1 with chemical compounds

  • Further it was observed that reduced DCIP could be oxidized by DBMIB in the absence of NADH indicating that the electron flow in the nitrate reductase complex may take place in a unidirectional way [10].
  • The DCIP activity was related to cell protein (r = 0.39), protein concentration in decidual culture medium (r = 0.36), and inversely related to the glucose level (r = -0.41) [3].
  • The chloroplasts from wheat leaves greened under intermittent illuminations (1 ms in duration) at long intervals (5 min) are capable of photoreducing DCIP (2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol) with diphenylcarbazide as an electron donor but are incapable of photoreducing DCIP with water as the donor [11].
  • Both NADPH- and DCIP-requiring enzyme activities which could not be separated by our enzyme purification system were found in the same single protein band on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis [12].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SAMHD1

  • At the end of each experiment the DCIP in the decidual culture medium was measured by bioassay: the percentage reduction, from control, of hCG production by JEG-3 cells exposed to 30% DCIP-containing decidual culture medium [3].
