UHRF1

A gene on chromosome 19q13.3 that encodes a member of a subfamily of RING-finger type E3 ubiquitin ligases, which binds to specific DNA sequences and recruits a histone deacetylase to regulate gene expression. Its expression peaks at late G1 phase, and plays a major role in the G1/S transition by regulating topoisomerase II-alpha and retinoblastoma gene expression; it also functions in the p53-dependent DNA damage checkpoint.

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].
