The invention discloses a preparation method of N epsilon-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N alpha-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-N epsilon-methyl-lysine. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking N alpha-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-lysine hydrochloride as a raw material, performing alkylation with halide (R-X) under alkaline conditions, performing reductive amination on alkylate in an aqueous formaldehyde solution to introduce methyl, removing an R group of a reductive amination product under acidic conditions, then introducing a t-butyloxycarboryl (BOC) protecting group under alkaline conditions and performing re-crystallization treatment to obtain a product. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple in synthetic route and mild in reaction conditions, and the next-step reaction can be directly carried out after an intermediate is simply washed and concentrated. The reaction yield in each step is close to quantification, the total yield can reach above 80 percent, the purity of a final product exceeds 98 percent, and a safe and efficient synthetic route is provided for the preparation of the N epsilon-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N alpha-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-N epsilon-methyl-lysine.

The dynamic post-translational modifications of histones play important roles in the regulation of transcription in animals. The demethylation of Nε-methyl lysine residues in the N-terminal tail of histone H3 is catalyzed by demethylases, of which the largest family is the ferrous iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent demethylases (JmjC KDMs), which catalyze demethylation via initial hydroxylation of the N-methyl groups. We report studies on the conformational requirements of the JmjC KDM substrates using N-methylated lysine analogues prepared by metathesis reactions of suitably protected N-allylglycine. The results support the proposed requirement for a positively charged Nε-amino group in JmjC KDM catalysis. Demethylation of a trans-C-4/C-5 dehydrolysine substrate analogue was observed with representative KDM4 subfamily members KDM4A, KDM4B and KDM4E, and KDM7B, which are predicted, based on crystallographic analyses, to bind the Nε-methylated lysine residue in different conformations during catalysis. This information may be useful in the design of JmjC KDM selective inhibitors.
