Protist oxygen-sensing and the role of prolyl hydroxylase-regulation of E3(SCF) ubiquitin ligases
{{output}}
A primary mechanism for sensing O2 in animals involves the O2-dependent prolyl hydroxylase PHD2, which generates a degron on the transcription co-factor HIF-α. In protists, its apparent evolutionary predecessor, PhyA, is dedicated to the modification of Skp1.... ...
