LSD1/CoREST1 complex with macrocyclic peptide inhibitor
Structural highlights
FunctionKDM1A_HUMAN Histone demethylase that demethylates both 'Lys-4' (H3K4me) and 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) of histone H3, thereby acting as a coactivator or a corepressor, depending on the context. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Acts as a corepressor by mediating demethylation of H3K4me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Demethylates both mono- (H3K4me1) and di-methylated (H3K4me2) H3K4me. May play a role in the repression of neuronal genes. Alone, it is unable to demethylate H3K4me on nucleosomes and requires the presence of RCOR1/CoREST to achieve such activity. Also acts as a coactivator of androgen receptor (ANDR)-dependent transcription, by being recruited to ANDR target genes and mediating demethylation of H3K9me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. The presence of PRKCB in ANDR-containing complexes, which mediates phosphorylation of 'Thr-6' of histone H3 (H3T6ph), a specific tag that prevents demethylation H3K4me, prevents H3K4me demethylase activity of KDM1A. Demethylates di-methylated 'Lys-370' of p53/TP53 which prevents interaction of p53/TP53 with TP53BP1 and represses p53/TP53-mediated transcriptional activation. Demethylates and stabilizes the DNA methylase DNMT1. Required for gastrulation during embryogenesis. Component of a RCOR/GFI/KDM1A/HDAC complex that suppresses, via histone deacetylase (HDAC) recruitment, a number of genes implicated in multilineage blood cell development.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedLysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an epigenetic enzyme which regulates the methylation of Lys4 of histone 3 (H3) and is overexpressed in certain cancers. We used structures of H3 substrate analogues bound to LSD1 to design macrocyclic peptide inhibitors of LSD1. A linear, Lys4 to Met-substituted, 11-mer (4) was identified as the shortest peptide distinctly interacting with LSD1. It was evolved into macrocycle 31, which was >40 fold more potent (K i = 2.3 muM) than 4. Linear and macrocyclic peptides exhibited unexpected differences in structure-activity relationships for interactions with LSD1, indicating that they bind LSD1 differently. This was confirmed by the crystal structure of 31 in complex with LSD1-CoREST1, which revealed a novel binding mode at the outer rim of the LSD1 active site and without a direct interaction with FAD. NMR spectroscopy of 31 suggests that macrocyclization restricts its solution ensemble to conformations that include the one in the crystalline complex. Our results provide a solid basis for the design of optimized reversible LSD1 inhibitors.
