Abstract excerpt
The hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) regulates transcriptional genes involved in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Under normoxia, HIF-1alpha has a short half-life (t((1/2)) approximately 5 min) and low transcriptional activity. An HIF-1alpha mutant, produced by substitution of alanine (Ala) for proline (Pro) at position 564 and asparagine (Asp) at position 803, can prevent HIF-1alpha...
