Epigenetic regulators: multifunctional proteins modulating hypoxia-inducible factor- α protein stability and activity.

Epigenetic regulators: multifunctional proteins modulating hypoxia-inducible factor-α protein stability and activity. Cell Mol Life Sci. 2017 Oct 14;: Authors: Luo W, Wang Y Abstract The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a heterodimeric transcription factor governing a transcriptional program in response to reduced O2 availability in metazoans. It contributes to physiology and pathogenesis of many human diseases through its downstream target genes. Emerging studies have shown that the transcriptional activity of HIF is highly regulated at multiple levels and the epigenetic regulators are essential for HIF-mediated transactivation. In this review, we will discuss the comprehensive regulation of HIF transcriptional activity by different types of epigenetic regulators. PMID: 29032501 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
