Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 2 (LSD2) demethylates mono- and dimethylated Lys-4 of histone H3 (H3K4me1 and H3K4me2). NPAC protein is known to interact with LSD2 and promote its H3K4 demethylase activity. In this study, we established a demethylation assay system that utilizes recombinant LSD2 in the presence of a synthetic NPAC peptide. Several phenylcyclopropylamine (PCPA)-based inhibitors were examined for their LSD2 inhibitory activity in the LSD2 enzymatic assay with the NPAC peptide. The assay results showed that the PCPA derivatives, including NCD41, selectively inhibited LSD1 in preference to LSD2.Entities:
