Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have diverse and profound roles in health and disease. The primordial PI3K, Vps34, is present in all eukaryotes and has essential roles in autophagy, endosomal sorting, phagocytosis and signalling upstream of mTOR in nutrient sensing. The crystal structure of Vps34 reveals a constricted adenine-binding pocket, shedding light on why specific inhibitors of this class of PI3K have proven elusive. Both the phosphoinositide-binding loop and the C-terminal helix of Vps34 have dual roles: they are essential for catalysis on membranes and they suppress futile ATPase cycles. Vps34 appears to alternate between a closed form in the cytosol and an open form on the membrane. Structures of Vps34 complexes with a series of inhibitors show why the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine preferentially inhibits Vps34 and lay a foundation for generating new potent and specific Vps34 inhibitors.
