Demethylation of EHMT1/GLP Protein Reprograms Its Transcriptional Activity and Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression.

Unlabelled: Epigenetic reprogramming, mediated by genomic alterations and dysregulation of histone reader and writer proteins, plays a critical role in driving prostate cancer progression and treatment resistance. However, the specific function and regulation of EHMT1 (also known as GLP) and EHMT2 (also known as G9A), well-known histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferases, in prostate cancer progression remain poorly understood. Through comprehensive investigations, we discovered that both EHMT1 and EHMT2 proteins have the ability to activate oncogenic transcription programs in prostate cancer cells.

[3 + 2] Cycloaddition and Cascade Radical Reactions for the Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated Tetrahydrobenzodiazepin-3-ones.

A reaction sequence involving three-component [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides followed by CuI-catalyzed cascade trifluoromethyl radical addition and cyclization is developed for diastereoselective synthesis of fused-tetrahydrobenzodiazepin-3-ones.
