Abstract excerpt
pVHL (von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein) is the substrate recognition subunit of the CBC(VHL) ubiquitin ligase complex promoting the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor subunits, HIF-1/2alpha. Mutational inactivation of pVHL causes the hereditary von Hippel-Lindau tumor syndrome, which predisposes affected individuals to hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinomas, and pheochromocytomas. Whereas the...
