An iron-dependent metabolic vulnerability underlies VPS34-dependence in RKO cancer cells.

An iron-dependent metabolic vulnerability underlies VPS34-dependence in RKO cancer cells.

VPS34 is a key regulator of endomembrane dynamics and cargo trafficking, and is essential in cultured cell lines and in mice. To better characterize the role of VPS34 in cell growth, we performed unbiased cell line profiling studies with the selective VPS34 inhibitor PIK-III and identified RKO as a...
