VHL inhibitors as chemical probes of the hypoxia signalling pathway
Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) is the E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-alpha (HIF α) for proteasomal degradation. The crucial function of VHL in response to hypoxia and cellular oxygen sensing are well established, owing to the use of genetic tools through knockout and …

Ageing and regeneration-associated transcriptional state transitions and tumour-stroma interaction in early renal carcinogenesis
… carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype. VHL inactivation is the most common mutation seen in ccRCC with more than 90% of tumours had clonal disruption of the VHL pathway. Although it is the initial oncogenic insult in ccRCC, it takes decades after VHL inactivation for ccRCC to develop. To …

Molecular mecanisms involved in the pathogenesis of head and neck paragangliomas
… SDH. Encontramos mutaciones somáticas en el gen VHL en 2 de los 4 pHx-HNPGLs y se identificó pérdida de heterocigosidad (LOH) de VHL en uno de ellos. No se encontraron mutaciones en VHL en una serie de 29 HNPGLs esporádicos que carecían de la activación de la vía de pHx. Por lo tanto, las …

Mechanotransduction by talin : a molecular dynamics study of force-induced recruitment of vinculin to a focal adhesion complex
… crystal structure of vinculin head subdomain (Vhl) bound to the talin VBS1 implies that vinculin undergoes a large conformational change upon binding to talin, but the molecular basis for this, or the precise nature of the binding pathway remain elusive. In the second part of the thesis, MD is …
