Description

BackgroundHypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a heterodimeric transcription factor that regulates the transcription of a broad range of genes that facilitate responses to hypoxia including genes that regulate angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, cell cycle, metabolism, and apoptosis. HIF-1 is comprised of two subunits, HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta. The widely expressed HIF-1alpha is degraded rapidly in normoxic cells by the ubiquitin/proteasomal pathway. HIF-1alpha is proline hydroxylated leading to a conformational change that promotes binding to the von Hippel Lindau protein (VLH)-E3 ligase complex; ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation follows.
FunctionFunctions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia (PubMed:15225651, PubMed:17981124, PubMed:22009797). Under hypoxic conditions, activates the transcription of over 40 genes, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia (PubMed:15225651, PubMed:17981124, PubMed:22009797). Plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease (PubMed:22009797). Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters (PubMed:26245371). Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and EP300. Activity is enhanced by interaction with NCOA1 and/or NCOA2. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX1 seems to activate CTAD and potentiates activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP. Involved in the axonal distribution and transport of mitochondria in neurons during hypoxia (By similarity). {UniProtKB:Q16665, PubMed:15225651, PubMed:17981124, PubMed:22009797, PubMed:26245371}.
