Tyrosine phosphorylation activates 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and promotes tumor growth and radiation resistance

6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is commonly upregulated in cancers. Here, the authors show that activation of EGFR induces phosphorylation of this enzyme at Y481 to activate the pentose phosphate pathway, which consequently reduces ROS and accelerates DNA synthesis to promote tumor growth and radio...
