=== Factor Inhibiting HIF ===
-
Factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) is a non-heme iron 2-xoygluatarate dependent dioxygenase, that is responsible for oxygen sensing in the body. For this sensing to occur, oxygen must reach the <scene name='User:John_Hangasky/Sandbox_1/Fih_active_site/3'>FIH active site</scene> at the iron core. For this to occur, a there must me a channel leading there. An <scene name='User:John_Hangasky/Sandbox_1/Fih_oxygen_channel/4'>Oxygen Channel</scene> has been proposed, and kinetic studies are under way, testing this proposed channel.

Factor Inhibiting HIF

Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF)is a transcription activator that regulates over 100 genes, many of which are important for development. HIF has been found to be over expressed in many cancers. Factor Inhibing HIF (FIH) is a non-heme Iron (II) α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) dependent asparaginyl hydroxylase that regulates HIF. In normoxic conditions (high oxygen concentrations), molecular oxygen is used to hydroxylate HIF, preventing HIF from binding to p300, a transcription co-activator. However, in hypoxic conditions (low oxygen concentrations), this hydroxylation does not occur.

FIH binds to the C-terminal Activation Domain (CTAD) of HIF. This binding domain, , is colored teal in this depiction.

Active Site

The contains an Iron (II) core. The Iron core is coordinated by 2 histidine residues, an aspartate residue, an α-ketoglutarate molecule, and one water molecule. The Iron (II) is six coordinated, with α-KG chelating in a bidentate manner. The coordination of the are seen here. The sixth coordination site is usually occupied by water, not shown here. Upon binding of substrate, it is believed this water is released and the iron becomes five coordinate.
