Abstract excerpt
PIK3CA encodes the catalytic subunit of class I PI3Kα (p110α), a key enzyme in receptor-mediated signaling that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to the 3,4,5-triphosphate lipid. This gene is frequently mutated in cancers, with H1047R and E545K being the most prevalent mutations. However, the mechanisms of mutants' overactivation remain incompletely understood. Here, we report the development...
