mechanism

The methylation of lysine via LSD1 occurs through a 2 electron process. In the first step the Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide cofactor initiates a hydride transfer from the one of the two methyl groups bound to the nitrogen at the lysine tail, via a N5 on the flavin group. An imine cation is then formed at the end of the lysine tail to compensate for the loss of hydride. In the next step the imine is hydrolyzed and transitions to an Hemiaminal. This then breaks down easily to formaldehyde and the product lysine.
