questions
4
pVHL is part of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex 2 1
5
pVHL binds and ubiquitylates HIF-α to target for degradation 3 OH U U U U polyubiquitylation proteosome degradation
6
HIF-α remains undegraded in hypoxia, dimerizes, and forms TF Minutes exposed to 20% O 2 H1F - Hours exposed to 1% O 2 Hypoxia (inhibition of hydroxylases) 4 OH Transcription Factor VEGF Phosphoglycerate Kinase Glut-1 Erythropoietin
7
VHL -/- mutants are embryonic lethal due to vasculature malformation D. melanogaster embryos WT ds d-VHL RNA 5 Mice embryos Day E10.5 WT VHL -/- 6
8
Heterozygous/conditional VHL knockouts cause hemangiomas in mice 6 VHL 1/+ (heterozygous) mice Albumin-cre mutant mice liver cells
9
Kidney VHL knockouts in mice cause pre-cancerous phenotypes 7
10
Human VHL Disease is characterized by vascular tumors in many tissues 8
