lüll Pondering the puzzle of PML (promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies: can we fit the pieces together using an RNA regulon?Borden KLBiochim Biophys Acta 2008[Nov]; 1783 (11): 2145-54The promyelocytic leukemia protein PML and its associated nuclear bodies are hot topics of investigation. This interest arises for multiple reasons including the tight link between the integrity of PML nuclear bodies and several disease states and the impact of the PML protein and PML nuclear bodies on proliferation, apoptosis and viral infection. Unfortunately, an understanding of the molecular underpinnings of PML nuclear body function remains elusive. Here, a general overview of the PML field is provided and is extended to discuss whether some of the basic tenets of "PML-ology" are still valid. For instance, recent findings suggest that some components of PML nuclear bodies form bodies in the absence of the PML protein. Also, a new model for PML nuclear body function is proposed which provides a unifying framework for its effects on diverse biochemical pathways such as Akt signaling and the p53-Mdm2 axis. In this model, the PML protein acts as an inhibitor of gene expression post-transcriptionally via inhibiting a network node in the eIF4E RNA regulon. An example is given for how the PML RNA regulon model provided the basis for the development of a new anti-cancer strategy being tested in the clinic.|*Nuclear Proteins/chemistry/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|*RNA/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|*Regulon[MESH]|*Transcription Factors/chemistry/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|*Tumor Suppressor Proteins/chemistry/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cell Nucleus/metabolism[MESH]|Drug Design[MESH]|Evolution, Molecular[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intranuclear Inclusion Bodies/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Leukemia, Promyelocytic, Acute/genetics/*metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Promyelocytic Leukemia Protein[MESH]|Signal Transduction/physiology[MESH] |
