Faithful inheritance of DNA methylation contributes to the memory of epigenetic states and protects against disease. While the mechanisms underlying DNA methylation maintenance at replication forks are well characterized, whether and how DNA methylation is altered or maintained at sites of DNA damage repair is still poorly understood. Here, by exploiting sequencing, imaging and proteomic approaches in mammalian cells exposed to UV radiation, we show that the majority of DNA methylation marks are maintained during UV damage repair and we dissect the molecular machinery involved in DNA methylation control. We detect the recruitment to sites of repair synthesis of the DNMT1 and DNMT3A DNA methylating enzymes, driven by the DNMT1 cofactor UHRF1 and by UV damage repair endonucleases. We also uncover a crosstalk with histone dynamics, whereby newly deposited H3.3 histones at UV damage sites promote the recruitment of DNMT1. Functionally, we reveal the importance of the DNA methylation maintenance machinery for the transcriptional response to UV damage and sustained cell proliferation. This work provides a comprehensive picture of DNA methylation control mechanisms following DNA damage, with important implications for our understanding of human diseases with an altered methylome.
