Targeting novel LSD1-dependent ACE2 demethylation domains inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication

Abstract Treatment options for COVID-19 remain limited, especially during the early or asymptomatic phase. Here, we report a novel SARS-CoV-2 viral replication mechanism mediated by interactions between ACE2 and the epigenetic eraser enzyme LSD1, and its interplay with the nuclear shuttling importin...
