Rôle des protéines de choc thermique dans la régulation du facteur de transcription HIF

2011

Both HIF1α and HIF2α proteins are highly involved in the development of pathologies, such as cancers, which are prime public health issues. These proteins are primarily controlled at the protein level by ubiquitin-dependant degradation, and regulate numerous cellular processes which are likely to favor the development of these diseases. A recent issue in therapeutic research is to identify partners that might regulate the expression and the activity of the HIFα proteins, with the aim to elaborate targeted therapies. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) form a family of proteins whose main function is to regulate protein homeostasis in cells, which they achieve through interaction with the ubiquitin-p…
