Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: HIF-1 is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in oxygen homeostasis. In normoxia, degradation of the HIF-1 alpha subunit is enabled by two prolyl hydroxylations at residues P402 and P564, while inactivation occurs through asparaginyl hydroxylation at residue N803 within its C-transactivation domain (C-TAD). For therapeutic angiogenesis purposes, HIF-1 alpha stabilization was previously...
