“…2 Under normal growth conditions, almost every mammalian cell usually harbours between 10 and 30 doughnut-like-shaped PMLNBs with a diameter ranging between 0.2 and 1 mm. [3][4][5][6][7] Besides a number of viral proteins, to date more than 40 different cellular proteins have been found in association with PML-NBs ( Figure 1). Although the molecular function of PMLNBs is currently not clear, there is accumulating evidence that PML-NBs are regulatory domains involved in various biological processes, including protein degradation, 5 transcriptional regulation, 8,9 cell growth, 10,11 antiviral response, 12,13 cellular senescence, [14][15][16][17] tumour suppression, 18 DNA repair 19,20 and apoptosis.…”
