Among the homologs that are best studied are human SAMHD1, a tetrameric dNTPase, and the hexameric E. coli dGTPase; however, it is unclear whether these are representative of all dNTPases given their wide distribution throughout life. Here, we investigated a hexameric homolog from the marine bacterium Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis, revealing that it is a dGTPase that is subject to allosteric activation by dATP, specifically. Allosteric regulation mediated solely by dATP represents a novel regulatory feature among dNTPases that may facilitate maintenance of cellular dNTP pools in L. blandensis. We present high-resolution X-ray crystallographic structures (1.80-2.26 A) in catalytically important conformations as well as cryo-EM structures (2.1-2.7 A) of the enzyme bound to dGTP and dATP ligands. The structures, the highest resolution cryo-EM structures of any SAMHD1-like dNTPase to date, reveal an intact metal-binding site with the dGTP substrate coordinated to three metal ions. These structural and biochemical data yield insights into the catalytic mechanism and support a conserved catalytic mechanism for the tetrameric and hexameric dNTPase homologs. We conclude that the allosteric activation by dATP appears to rely on structural connectivity between the allosteric and active sites, as opposed to the changes in oligomeric state upon ligand binding used by SAMHD1. High-resolution structures of the SAMHD1 dGTPase homolog from Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis reveal a novel mechanism of allosteric activation by dATP.,Klemm BP, Sikkema AP, Hsu AL, Horng JC, Hall TMT, Borgnia MJ, Schaaper RM J Biol Chem. 2022 May 25:102073. doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102073.
