Abstract
This Podcast features an interview Gregg Semenza and Maimon Hubbi, authors of a paper that appears in the 12 February 2013 issue of Science Signaling. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a heterodimeric protein that mediates the transcriptional response to hypoxia, the decreased availability of oxygen. One of the outcomes of HIF-1α mediated gene regulation is activation of genes encoding proteins that inhibit cell proliferation. Hubbi et al. report that the á subunit of HIF-1 (HIF-1α) also inhibits cell proliferation in response to hypoxia by inhibiting the activity of a DNA helicase that is required for DNA replication.
