Structure of a HIF-1a-pVHL-ElonginB-ElonginC Complex
Contents |
Overview
The ubiquitination of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) by the von, Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (pVHL) plays a central role in the cellular, response to changes in oxygen availability. pVHL binds to HIF only when a, conserved proline in HIF is hydroxylated, a modification that is, oxygen-dependent. The 1.85 angstrom structure of a 20-residue HIF-1alpha, peptide-pVHL-ElonginB-ElonginC complex shows that HIF-1alpha binds to pVHL, in an extended beta strand-like conformation. The hydroxyproline inserts, into a gap in the pVHL hydrophobic core, at a site that is a hotspot for, tumorigenic mutations, with its 4-hydroxyl group recognized by buried, serine and histidine residues. Although the beta sheet-like interactions, contribute to the stability of the complex, the hydroxyproline contacts, are central to the strict specificity characteristic of signaling.
