Abstract excerpt
Upregulation and nuclear retention of the human histone demethylase LSD1 are correlated with aggressiveness and poor outcome of several cancer types, but the molecular mechanism of LSD1 nuclear import remains unclear. Here, we found that the N-terminal flexible region of LSD1 contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS), (112)RRKRAK(117). Mutation or deletion of the NLS completely abolished the nuclear import of...
