Substrate specificity and regulation of gene expression by KDM1A. The binding of KDM1A to the CoREST and NuRD complex allows the demethylation of H3K4me1/2 and leads to the inhibition of target gene expression, but this complex cannot catalyze the demethylation of the lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9me1/2). The interaction between KDM1A and the androgen and estrogen receptors alters its substrate specificity from H3K4me1/2 to H3K9me1/2, allowing for the regulation of target gene expression [18]
