16
Q

What do the addition of OH by PHD cause?

A

Binding to VHL

17
Q

What does VHL promote binding of?

A

Ub chains - promote degradation of HIF

18
Q

What is FIH’s MoA in HIF activity in normoxia?

A

FIH uses oxygen as a substrate to asparagine to C terminal - CBP can no longer bind - no efficient transactivation of gene

19
Q

What are the 3 isoforms of PHD?

A

PHD 1,2 and 3

20
Q

What is the most important PHD for HIF?

A

PHD2

21
Q

What are the 3 PHD substrates?

A

O2
Fe2+
ascorbate

22
Q

How many isoforms of FIH are there?

A

1

23
Q

What are the 3 substrates for FIH?

A

O2
Fe2+
ascorbate

24
Q

What 2 things does HIF1alpha require to become transcriptionally active?

A

HIF1beta and CBP

25
Q

What happens in VHL disease?

A

Cell thinks it’s hypoxic -> constituvely express HIF genes -> blood tumours

26
Q

Which residue is critical for VHL interaction?

A

Proline 564

27
Q

Where is proline 564 present in HIF1alpha?

A

Oxygen dependent degradation domain

28
Q

What happens if you stick ODD to another protein?

A

Confers oxygen sensitivity
