Abstract excerpt
The hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play a central role in oxygen homeostasis. HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) modify HIFalpha subunits and thereby target them for proteasomal degradation. Mammalian PHDs comprise three isozymes, PHD1, PHD2 and PHD3, and belong to the iron(II)-2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family. We have expressed full-length human PHD1 in Escherichia coli, and purified it to apparent...
