Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a master regulator of mammalian oxygen homeostasis. HIF-1 consists of two subunits, HIF-1 alpha and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT). Whereas hypoxia prevents ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of HIF-1 alpha, ARNT expression is thought to be oxygen-independent. We and others previously showed that ARNT is indispensable for HIF-1 DNA-binding...
