PNP inhibitors selectively kill cancer cells lacking SAMHD1

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors (PNP-Is) were developed to ablate transformed lymphocytes. However, only some patients with leukemia benefit from PNP-Is. We provide a molecular explanation: the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) hydrolase SAM and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD...
