Signalling hypoxia by HIF hydroxylases.
Analysis of oxygen sensitive pathways that regulate the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional system has revealed a novel role for oxygenases in signalling hypoxia. The enzymes, which catalyse hydroxylation of specific prolyl and asparaginyl residues in the regulatory HIF-alpha subunits, be...
