What (H)IF isoform matters? A deubiquitinase can tune the hypoxic response

Context-specific control mechanisms of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha in tumors exposed to oxygen shortage remain incompletely understood. In this issue, Zhang et al (2022) identify a deubiquitinase that differentially stabilizes HIF-2alpha in stem-like glioblastoma cells, suggesting potential implications for regulation of the hypoxic response in a wide array of tissues and cancers.
