The transcriptional role of PML and the nuclear body

Abstract: The PML gene encodes a tumour suppressor protein associated with a distinct subnuclear domain, the nuclear body. Various functions have been attributed to the PML nuclear body, but its main biochemical role is still unclear. Recent findings indicate that PML is essential for the proper formation of the nuclear body and can act as a transcriptional co-factor. Here we summarize the current understanding of the biological functions of PML and the nuclear body, and discuss a role for these intra-nuclear structures… Show more

“…The SAM domain of PcG proteins mediates the interaction with UBC-9, leading to sumoylation, and directs the formation of subnuclear bodies whose characteristics are correlated with physiological function. Sumoylation itself has a variety of effects on its targets in cultured cells, including regulating the subnuclear localization of PML, HIPK2 and TEL [14][15][16] and modulating the transactivational activity of Sp3 and LEF1 (refs. 6,17).…”

“…The PML protein has first been described as the causal agent in acute promyelocytic leukaemia as a fusion with the RARa receptor generated by the chromosomal translocation t(15;17) (Ascoli and Maul, 1991;de The et al, 1991;Kakizuka et al, 1991;Chang et al, 1992;Goddard et al, 1992;Kastner et al, 1992;Pandolfi et al, 1992;Dyck et al, 1994;Koken et al, 1994;Weis et al, 1994;Melnick and Licht, 1999;. Since these initial findings, it has become evident that PML is a general tumour suppressor frequently deregulated in various tumour types (Gurrieri et al, 2004) most presumably involving secondary effects of PML bodies as sites of protein degradation (Lallemand-Breitenbach et al, 2001), transcriptional regulation (Li et al, 2000;Zhong et al, 2000), cellular senescence (Ferbeyre et al, 2000;Pearson et al, 2000;Bischof et al, 2002;Langley et al, 2002), tumour suppression (Salomoni and Pandolfi, 2002;Salomoni et al, 2008), DNA repair (Bischof et al, 2001;Carbone et al, 2002), apoptosis (Hofmann and Will, 2003;Takahashi et al, 2004) and epigenetic regulation (Torok et al, 2009). Interestingly, functional inactivation of the E1B-55K leucine-rich nuclear export sequence (NES) induces enhanced posttranslational modification of E1B-55K by the small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO1) at lysine 104 (SUMO-conjugation motif, SCM) as well as augments transformation of primary rat cells involving the accumulation of p53, E1B-55K and PML in subnuclear aggregates (Endter et al, 2001(Endter et al, , 2005.…”

“…[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. [21][22][23][24][25] However, how can one explain that so many different and unrelated processes are linked to these nuclear domains?…”
