General Comments
VPS34 is the only Class III PI 3-kinase (a lipid kinase) that has been identified. Human VPS34 is ubiquitously expressed and is the enzymatic component of a multiprotein complex. VPS34 substrate specificity is limited to phosphatidylinositol. Mammalian VPS34 plays roles in autophagy, endosomal trafficking, other aspects of membrane biology, and nutrient sensing [1]. VPS34 activity is required for some viruses to replicate in human host cells: e.g. SARS-CoV-2 [13] and hepatitis C virus [11], likely because viruses rely heavily on host cell lipids for replication. Pharmacological inhibition of VPS34 has been shown to reduce SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro (IC50 ~600 nM) [13].
