Controlled oxygen activation in human oxygen sensor FIH

One of the primary oxygen sensors in human cells, which controls gene expression by hydroxylating the hypoxia inducible transcription factor (HIFα) is the factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). As FIH is an alpha-ketoglutarate dependent non-heme iron dioxygenase, oxygen activation is thought to precede substr...
