Abstract

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional activator that functions as a master regulator of cellular and systemic oxygen homeostasis. It consists of two constitutively produced subunits: HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta. Under normoxic conditions HIF-1alpha undergoes hydroxylation at specific prolyl residues which leads to an immediate ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the alpha subunit. Additionally, hydroxylation of an asparaginyl residue blocks the transcriptional activity of HIF-1 due to inhibition of its interaction with co-activators. In contrast, under hypoxic conditions, abolition of prolyl hydroxylation results in HIF-1alpha stabilization, whereas the lack of asparaginyl hydroxylation allows the transcriptional activity. Additionally, the transcriptional activity may be modulated by phosphorylation or redox modification of HIF-1. Despite its name, HIF-1 is induced not only in response to reduced oxygen availability but also by other stimulants, such as nitric oxide, various growth factors, or direct inhibitors of prolyl and asparaginyl hydroxylases. Therefore, it seems to be a crucial transcription factor elicited by a wide range of stresses such as impaired oxygenation, inflammation, energy deprivation, or intensive proliferation. However, the mechanisms of normoxic activation, as well as of oxygen sensing, are not yet fully known. Further understanding of the processes that control HIF-1 activity will be crucial for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
