Abstract

The stability and activity of HIF-1α are regulated by various post-translational modifications, hydroxylation,
acetylation, and phosphorylation. Therefore, HIF-1α interacts with several protein factors
including PHD, pVHL, ARD1, and p300/CBP. Under normoxia, the HIF-1α subunit is rapidly degraded
via the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene product (pVHL)-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome
pathway. Mouse ARD1 has been reported to negatively regulate the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1
α) protein by acetylating a lysine residue and enhancing HIF-1α ubiquitination and degradation. Herein,
it is demonstrated that ARD1 cannot affect the hydroxylation of HIF-1α, which is the major regulatory
modification for the stability. Moreover, the ARD1 expression level is downregulated by hypoxic
exposure.
