Abstract

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is crucial for regulating gene expression by catalyzing the demethylation of mono- and di-methylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and lysine 9 (H3K9) and non-histone proteins through the amine oxidase activity with FAD+ as a cofactor. It interacts with several protein partners, which potentially contributes to its diverse substrate specificity. Given its pivotal role in numerous physiological and pathological conditions, the function of LSD1 is closely regulated by diverse post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, methylation, and acetylation. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the regulation and function of LSD1 following various PTMs. Specifically, we will focus on the impact of PTMs on LSD1 function in physiological and pathological contexts and discuss the potential therapeutic implications of targeting these modifications for the treatment of human diseases.
