The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cellular response to cellular oxygen
sensing has been controversial. Three papers in this issue of Cell Metabolism (Brunelle et
al., 2005; Guzy et al., 2005; Mansfield et al., 2005) used genetic tools to establish that ROS
produced by mitochondria are required for the normal induction of HIF (hypoxia-inducible
factor), which is a master regulator of oxygen-sensitive gene expression, by low oxygen.
