Article Abstract
In conventional dendrimer synthesis, producing defective dendrimers is unavoidable. However, no synthetic method exists to prepare these defect dendrimers with a well-defined structure. A novel and efficient solid-phase method has been developed to synthesize well-defined lysine defect dendrimers using orthogonally protected lysine residues. This chapter details the synthesis of two defect lysine dendrimers. Additionally, the synthesis of a boronic acid-decorated defect lysine dendrimer is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this method for preparing functional defect dendrimers.

Nε-lysine acetylation in the lumen of the ER requires two acetyltransferases, ATase1/NAT8B and ATase2/NAT8. They are type II membrane proteins and belong to the larger GNAT superfamily of acetyltransferases. Their enzymatic activity is tightly coupled to the import of acetyl-CoA in the lumen of the ER by AT-1/SLC33A1.

Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me), a hallmark of heterochromatin, is catalyzed by Clr4/Suv39. Clr4/Suv39 contains two conserved domains-an N-terminal chromodomain and a C-terminal catalytic domain-connected by an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Several mechanisms have been proposed to regulate Clr4/Suv39 activity, but how it is regulated under physiological conditions remains largely unknown.

Nuclear receptor binding set domain protein 1 (NSD1) is a key histone methyltransferase that catalyzes di-methylation of lysine 36 of histone H3 (H3K36me2), essential for active chromatin domains. While the loss of NSD1 activity halts embryonic development and its aberrant gain drives oncogenesis in leukemia and glioma, the regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we uncover that NSD1 requires allosteric activation through the aromatic pocket of its Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro 2 (PWWP2) domain.

In most solid tumors, hypoxia constitutes a defining microenvironmental feature that reprograms malignant cells into a highly metastatic state by driving cellular plasticity and exacerbating chromosomal instability (CIN). However, the mechanisms by which cancer cells concurrently co-opt these elements of hypoxic adaptation to promote metastasis remains poorly understood. Here, we report that hypoxia promotes metastasis by suppressing the JmjC-containing histone lysine demethylase Kdm8.
