Hypoxia-inducible factor-1? (HIF-1?) is a master regulator that facilitates both oxygen delivery and adaptation to low oxygen by regulation of expression of genes, functioning glucose uptake and metabolism, angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Recently, PLD has been reported to regulate HIF-1? at translation level; however, the other regulations of HIF-1? protein by PLD are not defined. This study shows that HIF-1?-mediated inhibition of endocytosis is reversed by PLD1 via Rab5/7 pathway and PLD1 promotes HIF-1? degradation via the proteasomal pathway. PLD1 and HIF-1? were associated in vivo and in vitro and PLD1 enhanced proline-hydroxylation of HIF-1? by recruitment of PHD2. In addition, PLD1 interacted with VHL and PLD1-mediated hydroxylation of HIF-1? promoted HIF-1? degradation via increasing interaction of HIF-1? and VHL. PLD1 can function as an adaptor protein to promote the degradation of HIF-1?. Moreover, this study showed that downregulation of HIF-1? by PLD1 is oxygen dependent. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that PLD1 is a new regulator of HIF-1? stability and promotes endocytosis via direct interaction with HIF-1?.
