New Mechanisms of Activation by Histone Demethylases in Gene Regulation

The epigenetic mechanisms that connect hormone signaling to chromatin remain largely unknown. Here we show that LSD1/KDM1A is a critical glucocorticoid receptor (GR) coactivator and report a previously unexplored mechanism where LSD1 activates gene transcription through H3K4me2 demethylation. We dem...
