Abstract:
Background
The activity of the heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is regulated by the post-translational, oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of its α-subunit by members of the prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD or EGLN)-family and by factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). PHD-dependent hydroxylation targets HIFα for rapid proteasomal degradation; FIH-catalysed asparaginyl-hydroxylation of the C-terminal transactivation domain (CAD) of HIFα suppresses the CAD-dependent subset of the extensive transcriptional responses induced by HIF. FIH can also hydroxylate ankyrin-repeat domain (ARD) proteins, a large group of proteins which are functionally unrelated but share common structural features. Competition by ARD proteins for FIH is hypothesised to affect FIH activity towards HIFα; however the extent of this competition and its effect on the HIF-dependent hypoxic response are unknown.
Results
To analyse if and in which way the FIH/ARD protein interaction affects HIF-activity, we created a rate equation model. Our model predicts that an oxygen-regulated sequestration of FIH by ARD proteins significantly shapes the input/output characteristics of the HIF system. The FIH/ARD protein interaction is predicted to create an oxygen threshold for HIFα CAD-hydroxylation and to significantly sharpen the signal/response curves, which not only focuses HIFα CAD-hydroxylation into a defined range of oxygen tensions, but also makes the response ultrasensitive to varying oxygen tensions. Our model further suggests that the hydroxylation status of the ARD protein pool can encode the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode, which may allow cells to memorise these features for a certain time period after reoxygenation.
Conclusions
The FIH/ARD protein interaction has the potential to contribute to oxygen-range finding, can sensitise the response to changes in oxygen levels, and can provide a memory of the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode. These emergent properties are predicted to significantly shape the characteristics of HIF activity in animal cells. We argue that the FIH/ARD interaction should be taken into account in studies of the effect of pharmacological inhibition of the HIF-hydroxylases and propose that the interaction of a signalling sensor with a large group of proteins might be a general mechanism for the regulation of signalling pathways.
There are there models described in the paper. 1) Skeleton Model 1 (SKM1) - HIFα CAD-hydroxylation in the absence of the FIH/AR-interaction. 2) Skeleton Model 2 (SKM2) - FIG sequestration by ARD proteins and oxygen-dependent FIH-release. 3) Full Model (Fusion of SKM1 and SKM2) - the effects of the FIH/ARD proteins interaction on HIFα CAD-hydroxylation.
This model corresponds to the "Full Model" described in the paper. The model reproduces figure 5 of the publication.

Project description:Hypoxia occurs when tissue or cellular oxygen demand exceeds its supply and is a frequent condition in health and disease. Metazoans have developed a regulatory system that allows them to sense changes in oxygen levels in their microenvironment and adapt to them. The asparagine hydroxylase factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) regulates the transcriptional activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), the master regulator of the cellular adaptive response to hypoxia [1, 2]. We recently identified the deubiquitinating enzyme ovarian tumour domain containing, ubiquitin aldehyde binding protein 1 (OTUB1) as novel bona fide FIH target protein with the hydroxylation occurring at the asparagine residue N22 [3, 4]. Surprisingly, in a follow-up investigation we observed a SDS-PAGE resistant interaction between FIH and OTUB1, resulting in a FIH-OTUB1 heterodimer (HD). Further analysis of the FIH-OTUB1 HD demonstrated that it is not linked by a disulfide bond, oxyester or thioester but likely through an amide bond. Interestingly, mutation of the hydroxylation acceptor site N22 in OTUB1 and genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of FIH prevented the formation of the heterodimer, demonstrating that HD formation is a consequence of FIH activity. To investigate if FIH-dependent stable protein complex formation was exclusive for OTUB1, we carried out a mass spectrometry (MS)-based FIH interactome analyses with denatured and non-denatured cell lysates (with or without SDS treatment and boiling). The results indicate the existence of further novel denaturing condition resistant protein complexes. 1. Mahon, P.C., K. Hirota, and G.L.

Project description:The aspariginyl-hydroxylase activity of Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH) is a key regulator of the transcriptional activity of the hypoxia inducible factor. FIH also catalyses the hydroxylation of asparaginyl- and other-residues in ankyrin repeat domain (ARD) containing proteins, including Apoptosis stimulating of p53 (ASPP) protein family members. ASPP2 is reported to undergo a single FIH catalysed hydroxylation at Asn-986. We report biochemical and crystallographic evidence showing FIH can catalyse the unprecedented post-translational hydroxylation of both asparaginyl-residues in “VNVN” and related motifs of ankyrin repeat domains in apoptosis-stimulating of p53 (ASPP) proteins (i.e. ASPP1, ASPP2 and iASPP) and the related ASB11 and p18-INK4C proteins. The results extend the substrate scope of FIH catalysis and may have implications for its role in the hypoxic response and, ASPP protein function.

Project description:Clioquinol (CQ) has been identified as a hypoxic mimicker to activate hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by inhibiting HIF-1a specific asparaginyl hypoxylase (Factor inhibiting HIF-1, FIH-1). We previously showed that hypoxia coordinately regulate induction or repression of hypoxia-responsive genes by altering different types of methylations (H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3) at gene level. Here, we investigated CQ-mediated regulation of the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes and whether CQ had a similar effect on histone methylation and transcription of target genes under hypoxia.

Project description:The response of cells to hypoxia is characterised by co-ordinated regulation of many genes. Studies of the regulation of the expression of many of these genes by oxygen has implicated a role for the heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). The mechanism of oxygen sensing which controls this heterodimeric factor is via oxygen dependent prolyl and asparaginyl hydroxylation by specific 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenases (PHD1, PHD2, PHD3 and FIH-1). Whilst HIF appears to have a major role in hypoxic regulation of gene expression, it is unclear to what extent other transcriptional mechanisms are also involved in the response to hypoxia. The extent to which 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenases are responsible for the oxygen sensing mechanism in HIF-independent hypoxic gene regulation is also unclear. Both the prolyl and asparaginyl hydroxylases can be inhibited by dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG). Such inhibition can produce activation of the HIF system with enhanced transcription of target genes and might have a role in the therapy of ischaemic disease. We have examined the extent to which the HIF system contributes to the regulation of gene expression by hypoxia, to what extent 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase inhibitor can mimic the hypoxic response and the nature of the global transcriptional response to hypoxia. We have utilised microarray assays of mRNA abundance to examine the gene expression changes in response to hypoxia and to DMOG. We demonstrate a large number of hypoxically regulated genes, both known and novel, and find a surprisingly high level of mimicry of the hypoxic response by use of the 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase inhibitor, dimethyloxalylglycine. We have also used microarray analysis of cells treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha to demonstrate the differing contributions of each transcription factor to the transcriptional response to hypoxia. Candidate transcripts were confirmed using an independent microarray platform and real-time PCR. The results emphasise the critical role of the HIF system in the hypoxic response, whilst indicating the dominance of HIF-1alpha and defining genes that only respond to HIF-2alpha.

Project description:The asparagine hydroxylase, factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) confers oxygen-dependence upon the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a master regulator of the cellular adaptive response to hypoxia. Studies investigating whether asparagine hydroxylation is a general regulatory oxygen-dependent modification have identified multiple non-HIF targets for FIH. However the functional consequences of this outside of the HIF pathway remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the deubiquitinase ovarian tumor domain containing, ubiquitin aldehyde binding protein 1 (OTUB1) is a substrate for hydroxylation by endogenous FIH on N22. Mutation of N22 leads to a profound change in the interaction of OTUB1 with proteins important in cellular metabolism. Furthermore, mutant OTUB1 (lacking the hydroxylation site) impairs cellular metabolic processes when compared to wild type. Based on these data, we hypothesize that OTUB1 is a target for functional hydroxylation by FIH, and propose that this provides new insight into the regulation of cellular energy metabolism during hypoxia.
