Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication requires a steady supply of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), synthesized de novo by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). In nondividing cells, RNR consists of RRM1 and RRM2B subunits. Mutations in RRM2B cause mtDNA depletion syndrome, linked to muscle weakness, neurological decline, and early mortality. The impact of RRM2B deficiency on dNTP pools in nondividing tissues remains unclear. Using a mouse knockout model, we demonstrate that RRM2B deficiency selectively depletes dATP and dGTP, while dCTP and dTTP levels remain stable or increase. This depletion pattern resembles the effects of hydroxyurea, an inhibitor that reduces overall RNR activity. Mechanistically, we propose that the depletion of dATP and dGTP arises from their preferred degradation by the dNTPase SAMHD1 and the lower production rate of dATP by RNR. Identifying dATP and dGTP depletion as a hallmark of RRM2B deficiency provides insights for developing nucleoside bypass therapies to alleviate the effects of RRM2B mutations.
