Substrates used in the assays for JMJD2A/JMJD2C, FBXL11, BBOX1, PHD2, FIH and ABH2 were histone H3 fragment substrates H3(7–14)K9me3 and H3(30–41)K36me2, γ-butyrobetaine, HIF1αCODD (residues 556–574), HIF1αCAD (residues 786–826) and GCXAGGTCCCGTAGTGCG, where X is 1-methyladenylate, respectively. See Fig 1 for dose–response curves and supplementary Table S1 online for the standard assay conditions used for the individual enzymes. Italicized IC50 values in parentheses were determined at 10-fold higher Fe(II) concentration than the standard assay conditions. *Partial dose–response curves.
ABH2, AlkB homologue 2; BBOX1, γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase 1; FIH, factor inhibiting-hypoxia-inducible factor; HIF, hypoxia-inducible factor; NOG, N-oxalylglycine; 2OG, 2-oxoglutarate; PHD2, prolyl hydroxylase 2; R-2HG, R-enantiomer of 2-hydroxyglutarate; IC50, half-maximal inhibitory concentration.
