An epitope tag alters phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase structure and impairs ability to support cell proliferation

Background The gene encoding the serine biosynthesis pathway enzyme PHGDH is located in a region of focal genomic copy number gain in human cancers. Cells with PHGDH amplification are dependent on enzyme expression for proliferation. However, dependence on increased PHGDH expression extends beyond p...
