Crystal structure of Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1) with TAK-418 distomer, FAD-adduct
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 enzyme that demethylates methylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Inhibition of LSD1 enzyme activity could increase H3K4 methylation levels and treat diseases associated with epigenetic dysregulation. However, known LSD1 inhibitors disrupt the interaction between LSD1 and cofactors such as GFI1B, causing the risk of hematological toxicity, including thrombocytopenia. Starting from a known LSD1 inhibitor (+/-)1 as a lead compound, a novel series of LSD1 inhibitors that do not induce the expression of GFI1 mRNA, an in vitro surrogate marker of LSD1-GFI1B dissociation, has been designed and synthesized. Initial structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed the structural features key to avoiding GFI1 mRNA induction. Such SAR information enables optimization of LSD1 inhibitors with lowered risk of hematological side effects; TAK-418 ((1R,2R)-2n), the clinical candidate compound found through this optimization, has a hematological safety profile in rodents and humans. We further confirmed that oral administration of TAK-418 at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg for 2 weeks ameliorated memory deficits in mice with NMDA receptor hypofunction, suggesting potential of efficacy in neurodevelopmental disorders. TAK-418 warrants further investigation as a novel class of LSD1 inhibitors with a superior safety profile for the treatment of CNS disorders.
