Abstract
The activity of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is regulated by oxygen-dependent hydroxylation. Under normoxic conditions, hydroxylation of proline residues triggers destruction of its alpha-subunit while hydroxylation of Asn(803) in the C-terminal transactivation domain of HIF-1 alpha (CAD) prevents its interaction with p300. Here we report crystal structures of the asparagine hydroxylase (factor-inhibiting HIF, FIH) complexed with Fe((II)), 2-oxoglutarate cosubstrate, and CAD fragments, which reveal the structural basis of HIF modification. CAD binding to FIH occurs via an induced fit process at two distinct interaction sites. At the hydroxylation site CAD adopts a loop conformation, contrasting with a helical conformation for the same residues when bound to p300. Asn(803) of CAD is buried and precisely orientated in the active site such that hydroxylation occurs at its beta-carbon. Together with structures with the inhibitors Zn((II)) and N-oxaloylglycine, analysis of the FIH-CAD complexes will assist design of hydroxylase inhibitors with proangiogenic properties. Conserved structural motifs within FIH imply it is one of an extended family of Fe((II)) oxygenases involved in gene regulation.
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. The FIH-CAD complex (a-c, structure 1; d, structure 2). a, FIH monomer. The CAD peptide is shown as a ball-and-stick representation in red and the DSBH motif in green. b, FIH dimer. The two molecules of FIH are in dark and light blue, the DSBH motif is in green, and the CAD peptide is in red. c, the 2OG binding site with bound NOG is shown in yellow. The Fe^(II) is colored pink, and the 2mF[o] DF[c] electron density map is contoured at 1.5 . d, orientation of CAD Asn803 at the FIH active site. The 2OG and CAD peptide are shown in yellow.

Fig. 2. FIH-CAD interactions. a, CAD fragments are shown as stick models in yellow above a van der Waals surface of FIH. FIH residues beneath the surface are colored green. Dotted red lines represent electrostatic bonds. b, alternative view of site 1. Note Asn803 is deeply buried. c, electron density for the bound CAD peptide (structure 1). CAD residues 795-806 (site 1, left) and 812-823 (site 2, right) are shown as ball-and-stick representations in yellow. The difference electron density, contoured at 2.2 (left) and 1.5 (right), was calculated after random model perturbation and refinement with CAD omitted to remove model bias.
