KDM1 histone lysine demethylases as targets for treatments of oncological and neurodegenerative disease

TL;DR: A decade after the identification of KDM1A as a histone demethylase, the first selective inhibitors have now reached the clinic, offering additional opportunities for the development of novel therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative disease.

Discovery of [1,2,3]Triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as Novel LSD1 Inhibitors

TL;DR: The [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine scaffold can be used as the template for designing new LSD1 inhibitors and docking studies indicated that the hydrogen interaction between the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring and Met332 could be responsible for the improved activity of 2-thiopyridine series.

Development of the triazole-fused pyrimidine derivatives as highly potent and reversible inhibitors of histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A)

TL;DR: The discovery of the hit compound 8a and further medicinal chemistry efforts, leading to the generation of compound 15u, which inhibited LSD1 reversibly and competitively with H3K4me2, and was selective to LSD1 over MAO-A/B, indicate that targeting LSD1 is a promising strategy for AML treatment and the triazole-fused pyrimidine derivatives are new scaffolds for the development of LSD1/KDM1A inhibitors.

LSD1 cooperates with CTIP2 to promote HIV-1 transcriptional silencing

TL;DR: It is reported that the histone demethylase LSD1 represses HIV-1 transcription and viral expression in a synergistic manner with CTIP2, and it is suggested that LSD1-induced H3K4 trimethylation is linked to hSET1 recruitment at the integrated provirus.

Leaving a mark: the many footprints of the elongating RNA polymerase II.

TL;DR: The role for RNA polymerase II elongation in targeting chromatin modifications to include a histone methyl mark more commonly associated with gene silencing is expanded.

Translating the Histone Code

TL;DR: It is proposed that this epigenetic marking system represents a fundamental regulatory mechanism that has an impact on most, if not all, chromatin-templated processes, with far-reaching consequences for cell fate decisions and both normal and pathological development.

Role of Histone H3 Lysine 27 Methylation in Polycomb-Group Silencing

TL;DR: The purification and characterization of an EED-EZH2 complex, the human counterpart of the Drosophila ESC-E(Z) complex, is reported, and it is demonstrated that the complex specifically methylates nucleosomal histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3-K27).

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 creates a binding site for HP1 proteins.

TL;DR: It is shown that mammalian methyltransferases that selectively methylate histone H3 on lysine 9 (Suv39h HMTases) generate a binding site for HP1 proteins—a family of heterochromatic adaptor molecules implicated in both gene silencing and supra-nucleosomal chromatin structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective recognition of methylated lysine 9 on histone H3 by the HP1 chromo domain.

TL;DR: A stepwise model for the formation of a transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is provided: SUV39H1 places a ‘methyl marker’ on histone H3, which is then recognized by HP1 through its chromo domain, which may also explain the stable inheritance of theheterochromatic state.

Regulation of chromatin structure by site-specific histone H3 methyltransferases

TL;DR: A functional interdependence of site-specific H3 tail modifications is revealed and a dynamic mechanism for the regulation of higher-order chromatin is suggested.
