HIF-1α plays a crucial part in hypoxia response by transcriptionally upregulating genes to adapt the hypoxic condition. HIF-1α is under severe cellular control as its exceptional activation is always associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Here, we report L3MBTL3 serves as a novel negative regulator of HIF-1α. It is upregulated during hypoxia and acts as a transcriptional target of HIF-1α. In the nuclei, L3MBTL3 makes an interaction with HIF-1α and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation. These findings indicate L3MBTL3 forms a negative feedback loop with HIF-1α in vitro to dampen the hypoxic response.
缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)通过转录上调基因以适应缺氧状态,在缺氧反应中发挥关键作用。HIF-1α受到严格的细胞调控,因为其异常激活总是与肿瘤发生和肿瘤进展相关。在此,我们报道L3MBTL3作为HIF-1α的一种新型负调节因子。它在缺氧期间上调,并作为HIF-1α的转录靶点发挥作用。在细胞核中,L3MBTL3与HIF-1α相互作用,促进其泛素化和降解。这些发现表明,L3MBTL3在体外与HIF-1α形成负反馈环以减弱缺氧反应。
