« Back to NewsOxygen chemosensitivity in chromaffin cells programmed by HIF-2α
14 August 2024
Members of the Ratcliffe research group (Maria Prange-Barczynska, Holly Jones and Yoichiro Sugimoto) show that activation of HIF-2α is sufficient to confer oxygen chemosensitivity in chromaffin cells.
Protein Stability may be defined by N-terminal cysteine acetylation and oxidation patterns
3 July 2024
The Ratcliffe group investigate the relationship between ADO-catalysed oxidation and NatA-catalysed acetylation of a broad range of protein sequences with N-terminal cysteines. This relationship has implications for O2-dependent protein stability and the hypoxic response.

Factor-inhibiting HIF deficiency is found to create a tumour-promoting immune microenvironment
1 March 2024
A collaborative study by the Lu and Ratcliffe research groups has found that the tumour-promoting immune microenvironment can be created by a deficiency in factor-inhibiting HIF.
Comparative analysis of ADO and PHD enzymes allows researchers to better understand their co-evolution and integration into oxygen homeostasis mechanisms

HIFs inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection of lung epithelial cells
7 April 2021
Activation of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) by either hypoxia or drug treatment inhibits SARS-CoV-2 entry and replication in lung epithelial cells, raising the potential of using clinically licensed HIF activators to prevent and/or treat COVID-19.
Anti-cancer HIF-2 inhibition affects the hypoxic ventilatory response
31 January 2020
