A closer look at the role of deubiquitinating enzymes in the Hypoxia Inducible Factor pathway Hypoxia Inducible transcription Factors (HIFs) are central to the metazoan oxygen-sensing response. Under low oxygen conditions (hypoxia), HIFs are stabilised and govern an adaptive transcriptional pr...

Having just joined bsky, thought it would be good to share our latest review and a couple of recent preprints from the group. First our review on the roles of deubiquitinating enzymes in hypoxia responses. portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr...
