Function
Exhibits antiviral activity against both DNA and RNA viruses. The antiviral activity can involve one or several isoform(s) and can be enhanced by the permanent PML-NB-associated protein DAXX or by the recruitment of p53/TP53 within these structures. Isoform PML-4 restricts varicella zoster virus (VZV) via sequestration of virion capsids in PML-NBs thereby preventing their nuclear egress and inhibiting formation of infectious virus particles.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus; Nucleus, nucleoplasm; Cytoplasm; Nucleus, PML body; Nucleus, nucleolus; Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Early endosome membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)
Disease Association: [A chromosomal aberration involving PML may be a cause of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Translocation t(15;17)(q21;q21) with RARA. The PML breakpoints (type A and type B) lie on either side of an alternatively spliced exon]
Pathway: Protein modification; protein sumoylation
