Abstract
AbstractHypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A) is a transcription factor (TF) that forms highly structural and functional protein–protein interactions with other TFs to promote gene expression in hypoxic cancer cells. However, despite the importance of these TF-TF interactions, we still lack a comprehensive view of many of the TF cofactors involved and how they cooperate. In this study, we systematically studied HIF1A cofactors in eight cancer cell lines using the computational motif mining tool, SIOMICS, and discovered 201 potential HIF1A cofactors, which included 21 of the 29 known HIF1A cofactors in public databases. These 201 cofactors were statistically and biologically significant, with 19 of the top 37 cofactors in our study directly validated in the literature. The remaining 18 were novel cofactors. These discovered cofactors can be essential to HIF1A’s regulatory functions and may lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets in cancer treatment.
