PML protein expression in hematopoietic and acute promyelocytic leukemia cells [PDF]
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is thought to be caused by the t(15,17) translocation that fuses the PML gene to that of the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) and generates a PML/RAR alpha fusion protein. Yet, paradoxically, APL cells are exquisitely sensitive to retinoic acid (RA), as they terminally differentiate upon RA exposure.

Posttranslational regulation of Myc by promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein [PDF]
AbstractThe promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) protein, a transcriptional repressor, induces cellular resistance to oncogenic transformation by diverse oncoproteins. Two point mutants of PLZF that have lost the antioncogenic activity of the wild‐type protein are oncogenic in chicken embryo fibroblasts; this activity is correlated with ...

Molecular Mechanisms of the Antileukemia Activities of Retinoid and Arsenic
.: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the occurrence of translocations between chromosomes 15 and 17, resulting in generation of a fusion protein of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) and retinoid A receptor (RAR) α. APL cells are unable to

Dysregulation of Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) Protein Expression in Preeclamptic Placentae [PDF]
Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a nucleoprotein that can regulate a variety of cellular stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine qualitative and quantitative changes in PML expression in preeclamptic placentae. Immunoblot, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry techniques

RING tetramerization is required for nuclear body biogenesis and PML sumoylation
Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a scaffolding protein that organizes PML nuclear bodies. Here the authors present the tetrameric crystal structure of the PML RING domain and show that RING tetramerization is functionally important for nuclear ...

Inhibition of the NAD-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT2 induces granulocytic differentiation in human leukemia cells. [PDF]
Sirtuins, NAD-dependent protein deacetylases, play important roles in cellular functions such as metabolism and differentiation. Whether sirtuins function in tumorigenesis is still controversial, but sirtuins are aberrantly expressed in tumors, which may

MORC3, a component of PML nuclear bodies, has a role in restricting herpes simplex virus type 1 and human cytomegalovirus [PDF]
We previously reported that MORC3, a protein associated with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs), is a target of HSV-1 ICP0 mediated degradation.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, which is highly aggressive, yet the most curable. It is a medical emergency that requires a very high index of suspicion, as delay in the treatment could lead to fatality.
