a HIF-1α is regulated by acetyl-inactivated degron, hydroxyl-activated degron, and methyl-activated degron. p300 acetyltransferase generates acetyl-inactivated degron of HIF-1α and HIF-1α acetylation triggers stabilization in acetylation-dependent manner. Because hydroxylation stimulates methyl-activated degron of HIF-1α, hydroxylation reduces protein stability of HIF-1α directly or indirectly. b Examples of the regulation of protein stability by SUMOylation. SUMOylation of PML-RAR induces poly-ubiquitination and further degradation of PML-RAR. In contrast, SUMOylation and multiple phosphorylations of tau cooperatively increase protein stability of Tau.
