Abstract

2-Oxoglutarate oxygenases are inhibited by a range of transition metals, as exemplified by studies on human histone demethylases and prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2 or EGLN1). The biological effects associated with 2-oxoglutarate oxygenase inhibition may result from inhibition of more than one enzyme and by mechanisms in addition to simple competition with the Fe(II) cofactor.
