Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated response to hypoxic conditions is turned off by VHL-mediated ubiquitination of HIFα. To achieve this, VHL binds HIFα and recruits it to a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, a Cullin-RING-ligase. In this issue of Structure, Nguyen et al. provide a structural view of how VHL engages the ligase in order to inhibit the hypoxic response.Entities:
