“…Thus PML NBs are implicated in a variety of key cell survival pathways, including the DNA damage response, senescence, gene expression regulation, apoptosis, nuclear proteolysis and the antiviral response (Pearson and Pelicci, 2001;Bischof et al, 2002;Dellaire and Bazett-Jones, 2004;Dellaire et al, 2006a;Villagra et al, 2006;Bernardi et al, 2008;Attwood et al, 2020). In addition, many components of the small-ubiquitin like modifier (SUMO) machinery, such as SUMO proteases (i.e., SENPs) and SUMO ligases (i.e., UBC9, PIAS), associate with PML NBs making these structures hubs for SUMO biology within the cell (Van Damme et al, 2010;Hattersley et al, 2011;Sahin et al, 2014;Brown et al, 2016;Barroso-Gomila et al, 2021). PML NBs range in diameter from 0.1 to 1 μm, with mammalian cells hosting 4-30 bodies (Table 1) (Banani et al, 2016;Hoischen et al, 2018).…”
