== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UHRF1_HUMAN UHRF1_HUMAN] Note=Defects in UHRF1 may be a cause of cancers. Overexpressed in many different forms of human cancers, including bladder, breast, cervical, colorectal and prostate cancers, as well as pancreatic adenocarcinomas, rhabdomyosarcomas and gliomas. Plays an important role in the correlation of histone modification and gene silencing in cancer progression. Expression is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with various cancers, suggesting that it participates in cancer progression.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UHRF1_HUMAN UHRF1_HUMAN] Multidomain protein that acts as a key epigenetic regulator by bridging DNA methylation and chromatin modification. Specifically recognizes and binds hemimethylated DNA at replication forks via its YDG domain and recruits DNMT1 methyltransferase to ensure faithful propagation of the DNA methylation patterns through DNA replication. In addition to its role in maintenance of DNA methylation, also plays a key role in chromatin modification: through its tudor-like regions and PHD-type zinc fingers, specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) and unmethylated at 'Arg-2' (H3R2me0), respectively, and recruits chromatin proteins. Enriched in pericentric heterochromatin where it recruits different chromatin modifiers required for this chromatin replication. Also localizes to euchromatic regions where it negatively regulates transcription possibly by impacting DNA methylation and histone modifications. Has E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity by mediating the ubiquitination of target proteins such as histone H3 and PML. It is still unclear how E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is related to its role in chromatin in vivo. May be involved in DNA repair.<ref>PMID:10646863</ref> <ref>PMID:15009091</ref> <ref>PMID:15361834</ref> <ref>PMID:17673620</ref> <ref>PMID:17967883</ref> <ref>PMID:19056828</ref> <ref>PMID:21745816</ref> <ref>PMID:22945642</ref> <ref>PMID:21777816</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is a multidomain protein that plays a critical role in maintaining DNA methylation patterns through concurrent recognition of hemimethylated DNA and histone marks by various domains, and recruitment of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). UHRF1 is overexpressed in various cancers, including breast cancer. The tandem tudor domain (TTD) of UHRF1 specifically and tightly binds to histone H3 di- or trimethylated at lysine 9 (H3K9me2 or H3K9me3, respectively), and this binding is essential for UHRF1 function. We developed an H3K9me3 peptide displacement assay, which was used to screen a library of 44,000 compounds for small molecules that disrupt the UHRF1-H3K9me3 interaction. This screen resulted in the identification of NV01, which bound to UHRF1-TTD with a Kd value of 5 muM. The structure of UHRF1-TTD in complex with NV01 confirmed binding to the H3K9me3-binding pocket. Limited structure-based optimization of NV01 led to the discovery of NV03 (Kd of 2.4 muM). These well-characterized small-molecule antagonists of the UHRF1-H3K9me2/3 interaction could be valuable starting chemical matter for developing more potent and cell-active probes toward further characterizing UHRF1 function, with possible applications as anticancer therapeutics.
