Factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) catalyses the post-translational hydroxylation of histidinyl residues within ankyrin repeat domains.

ABSTRACT: Factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) is an Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that acts as a negative regulator of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) by catalysing ?-hydroxylation of an asparaginyl residue in its C-terminal transcriptional activation domain (CAD). In addition to the hypoxia-inducible factor C-terminal transcriptional activation domain (HIF-CAD), FIH also catalyses asparaginyl hydroxylation of many ankyrin repeat domain-containing proteins, revealing a broad sequence selectivity. However, there are few reports on the selectivity of FIH for the hydroxylation of specific residues. Here, we report that histidinyl residues within the ankyrin repeat domain of tankyrase-2 can be hydroxylated by FIH. NMR and crystallographic analyses show that the histidinyl hydroxylation occurs at the ?-position. The results further expand the scope of FIH-catalysed hydroxylations.

Factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) is an Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that acts as a negative regulator of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) by catalysing β-hydroxylation of an asparaginyl residue in its C-terminal transcriptional activation domain (CAD).

Project description:The factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) is a proximate oxygen sensor for human cells, hydroxylating Asn(803) within the ?-subunit of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). FIH is an ?-ketoglutatrate (?KG)-dependent, non-heme Fe(II) dioxygenase, in which Fe(II) is coordinated by a (His(2)Asp) facial triad, ?KG, and H(2)O. Hydrogen bonding among the facial triad, the HIF-Asn(803) side chain, and various second-sphere residues suggests a functional role for the second coordination sphere in tuning the chemistry of the Fe(II) center. Point mutants of FIH were prepared to test the functional role of the ?KG-centered (Asn(205) and Asn(294)) or HIF-Asn(803)-centered (Arg(238) and Gln(239)) second-sphere residues. The second sphere was tested for local effects on priming Fe(II) to react with O(2), oxidative decarboxylation, and substrate positioning. Steady-sate kinetics were used to test for overall catalytic effects; autohydroxylation rates were used to test for priming and positioning, and electronic spectroscopy was used to assess the primary coordination sphere and the electrophilicity of ?KG. Asn(205) ? Ala and Asn(294) ? Ala mutants exhibited diminished rates of steady-state turnover, while minimally affecting autohydroxylation, consistent with impaired oxidative decarboxylation. Blue-shifted metal to ligand charge transfer transitions for (Fe+?KG)FIH indicated that these point mutations destabilized the ?* orbitals of ?KG, further supporting a slowed rate of oxidative decarboxylation. The Arg(238) ? Met mutant exhibited steady-state rates too low to measure and diminished product yields, suggesting impaired substrate positioning or priming; the Arg(238) ? Met mutant was capable of O(2) activation for the autohydroxylation reaction. The Gln(239) ? Asn mutant exhibited significantly slowed steady-state kinetics and diminished product yields, suggesting impaired substrate positioning or priming. As HIF binding to the Gln(239) ? Asn mutant stimulated autohydroxylation, it is more likely that this point mutant simply mispositions the HIF-Asn(803) side chain. This work combines kinetics and spectroscopy to show that these second-sphere hydrogen bonds play roles in promoting oxidative decarboxylation, priming Fe(II) to bind O(2), and positioning HIF-Asn(803).
