Abstract excerpt
Prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins (PHD isozymes 1-3) regulate levels of the alpha-subunit of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) through proline hydroxylation, earmarking HIFalpha for proteosome-mediated degradation. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF stabilization leads to enhanced transcription and regulation of a multitude of processes, including erythropoiesis. Herein, we examine the biochemical characterization...
