When challenged with a low oxygen environment, knownas hypoxia, the body produces a hormone called erythropoietin(EPO), which then stimulates red blood cell production tocarry more oxygen. Transcription of the gene encoding EPO isdependent upon the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which is atranscriptional activator. However, HIF alone is not sufficientto activate EPO. For example, Wang et al. (2010. PLOS ONE 5:e10002) showed that HIF recruits another protein called p300to an enhancer for the EPO gene. Furthermore, deletion of p300significantly impaired transcription of the EPO gene in responseto hypoxia. Given that p300 is a type of histone acetyl transferase,how might p300 influence transcription of the EPO gene?
