Facts about E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UHRF1.
In addition to its role in maintenance of DNA methylation, also plays an integral role in chromatin modification: through its tudor-like regions and PHD- type zinc fingers, specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated in'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) and unmethylated in'Arg-2' (H3R2me0), respectively, and recruits chromatin proteins. Enriched in pericentric heterochromatin where it recruits different chromatin modifiers required for this chromatin replication.
