Multiple Splice Variants of the Human HIF-3α Locus Are Targets of the von Hippel-Lindau E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Complex
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Functional inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor protein is the cause of familial VHL disease and sporadic kidney cancer. The VHL gene product (pVHL) is a component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1 and 2 alpha subunits for polyubiquitylation. This process is dependent on the hydroxylation of conserved proline residues on the alpha subunits...
