Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Purpose of this study is to establish biochemical assay systems for understanding of regulatory mechanisms of lysine-methylated nucleosome core particles through the histone demethylase family of LSD1/LSD2 (Lysine-specific demethylase-1/2) which is assumed in the onsets of intractable cancers and/or lifestyle-related diseases. We achieved cell-free protein production methodology to synthesize full-length histone H3 protein containing a site-specific mono-methyl-lysine, which is the demethylation substrates for LSD1/LSD2 in the context of chromatin, through the combination of site-specific incorporation of Boc-protected mono-methyl-lysine into a protein during translation and chemical removal of the Boc group.
