Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) regulates cellular responses to hypoxia and is rapidly degraded under normoxia through von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mediated ubiquitination. Although HIF-1alpha stabilization appears to be the molecular basis for VHL-associated cancers, stabiliz...
