hypoxia-inducible factor-asparagine dioxygenase

Contains iron, and requires ascorbate. Catalyses hydroxylation of an asparagine in the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain of HIF-α, the α subunit of the transcriptional regulator HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor), which reduces its interaction with the transcriptional coactivator protein p300. The requirement of oxygen for the hydroxylation reaction enables animals to respond to hypoxia.
