  Posttranslational modifications of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) influence HIF-mediated transcription, likely by affecting binding to p300/cAMP-response element-binding protein (CBP). To systematically analyze the HIF-1alpha-p300/CBP interaction, we developed a fluorescence polarization-based binding assay, employing fluorescein-labeled peptides derived from the C-terminal transactivation domain (C-TAD) of HIF-1alpha. After optimized for effectively capturing p300/CBP, the assay was utilized for evaluating direct effects of posttranslational modifications of the HIF-1alpha C-TAD on p300 binding. The results demonstrated that asparagine hydroxylation and S-nitrosylation of HIF-1alpha decrease p300 binding, while its phosphorylation does not affect p300 binding, which was reconfirmed by competitive inhibition analyses using mutant peptides.
