Cells adapt to low oxygen (hypoxia) by altering post-translational modifications (PTMs). This review details how oxygen levels directly and indirectly impact PTMs, crucial for cellular survival and adaptation.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Cell Biology
- Physiology
Background:
- Mammalian cells require oxygen for survival.
- Hypoxia, a state of reduced oxygen availability, triggers cellular adaptation mechanisms.
- Cellular signaling, vital for adaptation, is modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs).
Conclusions:
- Oxygen levels critically regulate PTMs, impacting cellular functions.
- Further research is needed to understand the specific oxygen sensitivity and functional significance of various PTMs.
- Oxygen-regulated PTMs are key mediators of cellular survival and adaptation strategies under hypoxia.
