Defining ortholog-specific UHRF1 inhibition by STELLA for cancer therapy by Wenjing Bai, Jinxin Xu, Wenbin Gu, Danyang Wang, Ying Cui, Weidong Rong, Xiaoan Du, Xiaoxia Li, Cuicui Xia, Qingqing Gan, Guantao He, Huahui Guo, Jinfeng Deng, Yuqiong Wu, Ray-Whay Chiu Yen, Srinivasan Yegnasubramanian, Scott B. Rothbart, Cheng Luo, Linping Wu, Jinsong Liu, Stephen B. Baylin, Xiangqian Kong

“…Herein, we demonstrate that human STELLA (hSTELLA) is inadequate, while mouse STELLA (mSTELLA) is fully proficient in inhibiting the abnormal DNA methylation and oncogenic functions of UHRF1 in human cancer cells. Structural studies reveal a region of low sequence homology between these STELLA orthologs that allows mSTELLA but not hSTELLA to bind tightly and cooperatively to the essential histone-binding, linked tandem Tudor domain and plant homeodomain (TTD-PHD) of UHRF1, thus mediating ortholog-specific UHRF1 inhibition. …”
