Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) 1 is a global transcriptional regulator of the hypoxic response. Under normoxic conditions, HIF-1α recognized by von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor protein (VHL), component an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. This interaction thereby promotes rapid degradation HIF-1α. stabilized. We have previously shown that VHL binds in hypoxia-sensitive manner to 27-aa segment HIF-1α, and this regulation depends on posttranslational modification Through combination vivo...

The number of red blood cells is normally tightly regulated by a classic homeostatic mechanism based on oxygen sensing in the kidney. Decreased delivery resulting from anemia induces production erythropoietin, which increases cell and hence delivery. Investigations erythropoietin regulation identified transcription factor hypoxia-inducible (HIF). HIF now recognized as being key regulator genes that function comprehensive range processes besides erythropoiesis, including energy metabolism...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha, which has three isoforms, is central to the continuous balancing of supply and demand oxygen throughout body. HIF-alpha a transcription that modulates wide range processes, including erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, cellular metabolism. We describe family with erythrocytosis mutation in HIF2A gene, encodes HIF-2alpha protein. Our functional studies indicate this leads stabilization protein suggest wild-type regulates erythropoietin production adults.

A critical step in the signal-induced activation of transcription factor NF-kappaB is site-specific phosphorylation its inhibitor, IkappaB, that targets latter for degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We have previously shown mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase 1 (MEKK1) can induce both this IkappaB alpha at Ser-32 and Ser-36 vivo activity a high molecular weight complex vitro. Subsequently, others identified two proteins, (IKK-alpha) beta (IKK-beta), are present tumor...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a heterodimeric transcription induced by hypoxia. Under normoxic conditions, site-specific proline hydroxylation of the alpha subunits HIF allows recognition von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (VHL), component an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets these for degradation ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. hypoxic this inhibited, allowing to escape VHL-mediated degradation. Three enzymes, prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing proteins 1, 2, and 3 (PHD1,...

Recent evidence indicates that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a transcription factor critically important for immune and inflammatory responses, is activated by protein kinase cascade. The essential features of this cascade are mitogen-activated (MAP3K) activates an IκB (IKK) site-specifically phosphorylates IκB. protein, which ordinarily sequesters NF-κB in the cytoplasm, subsequently degraded ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby allowing translocation NF-κB. Thus far, only two MAP3Ks, NIK...

The central pathway for oxygen-dependent control of red cell mass is the prolyl hydroxylase domain protein (PHD):hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway. PHD site specifically hydroxylates transcription HIF-α, thereby targeting latter degradation. Under hypoxia, this modification attenuated, allowing stabilized HIF-α to activate target genes, including that erythropoietin (EPO). Studies employing genetically modified mice point Hif-2α, one two main Hif-α isoforms, as being critical regulator...

Highland native Andeans have resided at altitude for millennia. They display high aerobic capacity (VO 2 max) altitude, which may be a reflection of genetic adaptation to hypoxia. Previous genomewide (GW) scans natural selection nominated Egl-9 homolog 1 gene ( EGLN1 ) as candidate gene. The encoded protein, EGLN1/PHD2, is an O sensor that controls levels the Hypoxia Inducible Factor-α (HIF-α), regulates cellular response From GW association and analysis covariance performed on total sample...

Transgenic mice harboring the int-2/Fgf-3 protooncogene under transcriptional control of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter/enhancer exhibit a dramatic, benign hyperplasia gland. In one int-2 transgenic line (TG.NX), this growth disturbance is evoked by pregnancy and regresses after parturition. Regression hyperplastic epithelium less complete successive pregnancies, and, within 10 months, most TG.NX stochastically develop carcinomas that are transplantable in virgin, syngeneic mice....

Prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2, also known as Egg Laying Defective Nine homolog 1) is a key oxygen-sensing in metazoans. In an oxygen-dependent manner, PHD2 site-specifically prolyl hydroxylates the master transcription factor of hypoxic response, hypoxia-inducible factor-α (HIF-α), thereby targeting HIF-α for degradation. this report we show that heat shock 90 (HSP90) co-chaperones p23 and FKBP38 interact via conserved Pro-Xaa-Leu-Glu motif (where Xaa = any amino acid) these...
