    Erythrocytosis-inducing PHD2 mutations implicate biological role for N-terminal prolyl-hydroxylation in HIF1α oxygen-dependent degradation domain

    Cassandra C Taber, Wenguang He ... Michael Ohh
    A unique pathogenic mutation on the primary prolyl hydroxylase of the oxygen-sensing pathway compromises the capacity to hydroxylate the hypoxia-inducible factor's N-terminal oxygen-dependent degradation domain proline while retaining activity against the otherwise catalytically predominant C-terminal proline.
