UHRF1 catalyzes multiple monoubiquitinations on histone H3 within nucleosomes. However, the structural mechanisms underlying the binding of UHRF1 to nucleosomes and the subsequent formation of the ubiquitin signal remain incompletely understood. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of UHRF1 bound to nucleosome core particle (NCP) harboring H3K9me3 and a single hemimethylated CpG site. The structures of the UHRF1-NCP complexes reveal an unanticipated interaction between the UHRF1 tandem Tudor domain and the acidic patch of the NCP. This interaction enhances histone H3 ubiquitination and stabilizes UHRF1 binding to the NCP in a manner that is dependent on the position of the hemimethylated CpG site. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the binding of UHRF1 to the NCP and the multiple monoubiquitination of histone H3 within the NCP. |
