LSD1n is an H4K20 demethylase regulating memory formation via transcriptional elongation control

Abstract

The authors show that the neuron-specific LSD1 variant (LSD1n) promotes transcription initiation and elongation in response to neuronal activity. LSD1n is essential for spatial learning and long-term memory formation. LSD1n exhibits novel substrate specificity for histone H4 K20 methylation.
