Hemi-methylated DNA opens a closed conformation of
UHRF1 to facilitate its histone recognition.
Expanding on this idea, a review of the 5-hmC literature suggested that 5-hmC may be maintained across DNA replication via a complex of the DNMT1, Tet, and
UHRF1 proteins (Shen and Zhang 2013), although the validity of this theory has not yet been determined.
Similarly,
Uhrf1 (ubiquitin-like PHD ring finger-1; also known as Np95) mainly interacts with DNMT1 to maintain DNA methylation in NSCs; the deletion of
Uhrf1 in NSCs leads to increase the global DNA methylation and delayed neurodegeneration [27].
Additionally,
UHRF1 has been found, in murine models, to be localised within the visual system in early embryological development; however, human research is lacking [20].

To determine the significance of early epigenetic modifications on the development of neural cells during embryogenesis in the mouse, Gotz and her colleagues specifically inactivated the gene
Uhrf1.
Previous studies had shown that 5hmC could interact with proteins such as the methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3,
Uhrf1, and MeCP2 and finally influence the chromatin structure and gene expression.[sup][33] Kafer et al .
(137,138) ZFP57/KAP1 complexes also interact with DNMTs and the hemimethylated DNA binding protein
UHRF1 (also called NP95), which are essential for the maintenance of DNA methylation.
Induction of apoptosis by thymoquinone in lymphoblastic leukemia Jurkat cells is mediated by a p73-dependent pathway which targets the epigenetic integrator
