Abstract
Kurmi et al. report that the phosphocreatine (PCr) energy shuttle is important for breast tumor metabolism and growth. This energy shuttle is activated through MtCK1 Y153 phosphorylation by the HER2/ABL signaling axis. Using a creatine analog cyclocreatine that inhibits the PCr energy shuttle, they demonstrate reduced growth of trastuzumab-resistant breast tumors in mice.
