Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting of HIF-alpha to the von Hippel-Lindau Ubiquitylation Complex by O2-Regulated Prolyl Hydroxylation
Panu Jaakkola,David R. Mole,Ya-Min Tian,Michael I. Wilson,Janine Gielbert,Simon J. Gaskell,Alex von Kriegsheim,Holger F. Hebestreit,Mridul Mukherji,Christopher J. Schofield,Patrick H. Maxwell,Christopher W. Pugh,Peter J. Ratcliffe +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the interaction between human pVHL and a specific domain of the HIF-1α subunit is regulated through hydroxylation of a proline residue by an enzyme the authors have termed Hif-α prolyl-hydroxylase (HIF-PH).
Journal ArticleDOI
The tumour suppressor protein VHL targets hypoxia-inducible factors for oxygen-dependent proteolysis
Patrick H. Maxwell,Michael S. Wiesener,Gin-Wen Chang,Steven C. Clifford,Emma C. Vaux,Matthew Edward Cockman,Charles C. Wykoff,Christopher W. Pugh,Eamonn R. Maher,Peter J. Ratcliffe,Peter J. Ratcliffe +10 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that the interaction between HIF-1 and pVHL is iron dependent, and that it is necessary for the oxygen-dependent degradation of HIF α-subunits, which may underlie the angiogenic phenotype of VHL-associated tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI
C. elegans EGL-9 and mammalian homologs define a family of dioxygenases that regulate HIF by prolyl hydroxylation.
Andrew C. R Epstein,Jonathan M. Gleadle,Luke A. McNeill,Kirsty S. Hewitson,J F O'Rourke,David R. Mole,Mridul Mukherji,Eric Metzen,Michael A Wilson,Anu Dhanda,Ya-Min Tian,Norma Masson,Donald L. Hamilton,Panu Jaakkola,Robert Barstead,Jonathan Hodgkin,Patrick H. Maxwell,Christopher W. Pugh,Christopher J. Schofield,Peter J. Ratcliffe +19 more
TL;DR: Direct modulation of recombinant enzyme activity by graded hypoxia, iron chelation, and cobaltous ions mirrors the characteristics of HIF induction in vivo, fulfilling requirements for these enzymes being oxygen sensors that regulate HIF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of angiogenesis by hypoxia: role of the HIF system.
TL;DR: The role of HIF in developmental, adaptive and neoplastic angiogenesis, and the implications of oncogenic activation of extensive, physiologically interconnected hypoxia pathways for the tumor phenotype are discussed.
Journal Article
Hypoxia-inducible Expression of Tumor-associated Carbonic Anhydrases
Charles C. Wykoff,Nigel J. P. Beasley,Peter H. Watson,Kevin Turner,Jaromir Pastorek,Amen Sibtain,George S. Wilson,Helen Turley,Kate L. Talks,Patrick H. Maxwell,Christopher W. Pugh,Peter J. Ratcliffe,Adrian L. Harris +12 more
TL;DR: A new class of HIF-1-responsive gene is defined, the activation of which has implications for the understanding of hypoxic tumor metabolism and which may provide endogenous markers for tumor hypoxia.
