Abstrakt: The hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIF)‐1α and HIF‐2α are central regulators of transcriptional programmes in settings such as development and tumour expansion. HIF‐2α moonlights as a cap‐dependent translation factor. We provide new insights into how the interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a ubiquitin‐like modifier, and the HIFs regulate one another in hypoxia and interferon‐induced cells. We show that upon ISGylation induction and HIF‐α stabilization, both HIFs promote protein ISGylates through transcriptional and/or post‐transcriptional pathways. We show the first evidence of HIF‐2α modification by ISG15. ISGylation induces system‐level alterations to the HIF transcriptional programme and increases the cytoplasmic/nuclear fraction and translation activity of HIF‐2α. This work identifies ISG15 as a regulator of hypoxic mRNA translation, which has implications for immune processes and disease progression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
