The deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase SAMHD1 is a myeloid cell-specific retroviral restriction factor that can be inactivated by viral protein Vpx from HIV-2 and certain SIV. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kyei et al. (2015) report that cyclin L2 enhances HIV-1 infection in macrophages by regulating SAMHD1.
