Breakthrough science: hypoxia-inducible factors, oxygen sensing, and disorders of hematopoiesis
19 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) were discovered as activators of erythropoietin gene transcription in response to reduced oxygen (O2) availability. O2-dependent hydroxylation of HIFs on proline and asparagine residues regulates protein stability and transcriptional activity, respectively. Mutations in genes encoding components of the O2-sensing pathway cause familial erythrocytosis. Several small-molecule...
