Histone Demethylation Mediated By The Nuclear Amine Oxidase Homolog LSD1

LSD1, a homolog of nuclear amine oxidases, functions as a histone demethylase and transcriptional co-repressor. LSD1 specifically demethylates histone H3 lysine 4, which is linked to active transcription. Lysine demethylation occurs via an oxidation reaction that generates formaldehyde. Importantly, RNAi inhibition of LSD1 causes an increase in H3 lysine 4 methylation and concomitant de-repression of target genes, suggesting that LSD1 represses transcription via histone demethylation. The results thus identify a histone demethylase conserved from S. pombe to human and reveal dynamic regulation of histone methylation by both histone methylases and demethylases.

Method for quantitatively detecting target protein yield of cell-free protein synthesis system and method for screening zymoprotein with high catalytic activity

The invention discloses a method for quantitatively detecting the target protein yield of a cell-free protein synthesis system and screening zymoprotein with high catalytic activity. According to the method for quantitatively detecting the yield of the target protein in the CFPS system, the expression quantity of the target protein in the CFPS system can be rapidly analyzed by segmenting the intensity value of fluorescence emitted by spontaneous binding of fluorescent protein, and rapid detection of the expression quantity of the target protein in the CFPS system is facilitated; meanwhile, based on the method, the enzyme homologues with high catalytic activity can be quickly screened by calculating the ratio of the quantity of products obtained by catalysis of each enzyme protein to the fluorescence intensity value after spontaneous binding of segmented fluorescent protein, and a conventional large intestine transformation-expression-purification process is not needed, so that the time and the material cost are greatly saved, the screening speed is increased, and moreover, the screening leakage risk of the high-catalytic-activity protein caused by too low protein expression quantity is avoided, and rapid and accurate screening of the high-catalytic-activity zymoprotein is facilitated.
