Differential cytotoxicity of human wild type and mutant alpha-synuclein in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells in the presence of dopamine.

abstract：:PHD2 is a 2-oxoglutarate, non-heme Fe(2+)-dependent oxygenase that senses O2 levels in human cells by hydroxylating two prolyl residues in the oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODD) of HIF1α. Identifying the active site contacts that determine the rate of reaction at limiting O2 concentrations is crucial for unders...
