Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) regulates key cellular processes through both demethylase-dependent and -independent functions. Current clinical LSD1 inhibitors target its functions, issues like the inability to fully modulate LSD1's demethylase-independent functions have limited their efficacy. SP2509, an allosteric inhibitor, can affect of LSD1. Understanding regulation mechanisms SP2509 may facilitate development new inhibitors. Using as a probe, two binding modes are identified in this work, which alter conformation substrate pocket, effectively blocking H3 inhibiting activity. Interestingly, one mode induces significant bending Tower/CoREST domain, disrupting nucleosome binding─an effect not previously reported. This unique is also validated vitro biochemical characterizations. These findings provide invaluable structural insights for designing next-generation novel therapeutics.
