Siah2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets PHD1 and PHD3 (prolyl hydroxylases) for proteasome-dependent degradation under hypoxia, thereby controlling HIF-1α abundance. Siah2-null fibroblasts show prolonged PHD3 half-life and lower HIF-1α levels during hypoxia; HIF-1α expression is completely inhibited in Siah1a/2 double-null cells and rescued by PHD3 RNAi knockdown. |

Siah2 targets TRAF2 for ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation under stress conditions (TNF-α and actinomycin D treatment). Wild-type but not RING-mutant Siah2 mediates this ubiquitylation in vitro, and TRAF2 half-life is prolonged in Siah2-/- MEFs subjected to stress. This reduces JNK activity and NF-κB transcriptional activation, and Siah2-mediated TRAF2 degradation promotes apoptosis. |

PHD3 lacks the N-terminal extension present in PHD1 and PHD2; deletion of this domain from PHD1/PHD2 renders them susceptible to Siah2-mediated degradation. PHD3 forms homo- and hetero-multimers; the lower-molecular-mass PHD3 complex shows higher HIF-1α hydroxylation activity and co-localizes with Siah2, indicating Siah2 preferentially degrades the more catalytically active form of PHD3. |

Under normoxia, HIPK2 phosphorylates Siah2 at positions Ser26, Ser28, and Ser68, weakening their mutual binding and destabilizing HIPK2. Under hypoxia, HIPK2/Siah2 interaction markedly increases, resulting in efficient polyubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of HIPK2. Hypoxia-induced HIPK2 elimination is markedly reduced in Siah2-deficient cells, relieving repression of hypoxia-inducible genes. |

A peptide that outcompetes Siah2-interacting proteins reduces metastasis via HIF-1α, while a dominant-negative Siah2 RING mutant reduces tumorigenesis via Sprouty2. |
