Nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs) form on the inner nuclear membrane by a mechanism involving promyelocytic leukemia (PML), the protein scaffold of PML nuclear bodies. We report that PML structures on nLDs in oleate-treated U2OS cells, referred to as lipid-associated PML structures (LAPS), differ from canonical PML nuclear bodies by the relative absence of SUMO1, SP100, and DAXX. These nLDs were also enriched in CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase α (CCTα), the phosphatidic acid phosphatase Lipin1, and DAG. Translocation of CCTα onto nLDs was mediated by its α-helical M-domain but was not correlated with its activator DAG. High-resolution imaging revealed that CCTα and LAPS occupied distinct polarized regions on nLDs. PML knockout U2OS (PML KO) cells lacking LAPS had a 40–50% reduction in nLDs with associated CCTα, and residual nLDs were almost devoid of Lipin1 and DAG. As a result, phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol synthesis was inhibited in PML KO cells. We conclude that in response to excess exogenous fatty acids, LAPS are required to assemble nLDs that are competent to recruit CCTα and Lipin1.

ABSTRACTNuclear LDs (nLDs) originate at the inner nuclear membrane by a mechanism that involves the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein. Here we demonstrate that nLDs in oleate-treated U2OS cells are associated with Lipid-Associated PML (LAP) domains that differ from canonical PML nuclear bodies by the relative absence of SUMO1, SP100 and DAXX. nLDs were also enriched in CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase α (CCTα), the phosphatidic acid phosphatase Lipin1 and diacylglycerol (DAG). High resolution imaging revealed that LAP domains and CCTα occupy distinct polarized regions on nLDs, and that loss of LAP domains in PML knockout U2OS cells reduced the recruitment of CCTα onto nLDs by its amphipathic α-helical M-domain. The association of Lipin1 and DAG with nLDs was also LAP domain-dependent. The disruption of CCTα and Lipin1 localization on nLDs in PML knockout cells resulted in the inhibition of phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol synthesis indicating that LAP domains are a unique PML subdomain involved in nLD assembly and regulation of lipid metabolism.

Lipid droplets (LDs) in the nucleus of hepatocyte-derived cell lines were found to be associated with premyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (NBs) and type I nucleoplasmic reticulum (NR) or the extension of the inner nuclear membrane. Knockdown of PML isoform II (PML-II) caused a significant decrease in both nuclear LDs and type I NR, whereas overexpression of PML-II increased both. Notably, these effects were evident only in limited types of cells, in which a moderate number of nuclear LDs exist intrinsically, and PML-II was targeted not only at PML NBs, but also at the nuclear envelope, excluding lamins and SUN proteins. Knockdown of SUN proteins induced a significant increase in the type I NR and nuclear LDs, but these effects were cancelled by simultaneous knockdown of PML-II. Nuclear LDs harbored diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 and CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase α and incorporated newly synthesized lipid esters. These results corroborated that PML-II plays a critical role in generating nuclear LDs in specific cell types.

ABSTRACT Oncogenic transformation by adenovirus E1A and E1B-55K requires E1B-55K inhibition of p53 activity to prevent E1A-induced apoptosis. During viral infection, E1B-55K and E4orf6 substitute for the substrate-binding subunits of the host cell cullin 5 class of ubiquitin ligases, resulting in p53 polyubiquitinylation and proteasomal degradation. Here we show that E1B-55K alone also functions as an E3 SUMO1-p53 ligase. Fluorescence microscopy studies showed that E1B-55K alone, in the absence of other viral proteins, causes p53 to colocalize with E1B-55K in promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, nuclear domains with a high concentration of sumoylated proteins. Photobleaching experiments with live cells revealed that E1B-55K tethering of p53 in PML nuclear bodies decreases the in vivo nuclear mobility of p53 nearly 2 orders of magnitude. E1B-55K-induced p53 sumoylation contributes to maximal inhibition of p53 function since mutation of the major p53 sumoylation site decreases E1B-55K-induced p53 sumoylation, tethering in PML nuclear bodies, and E1B-55K inhibition of p53 activity. Mutation of the E1B-55K sumoylation site greatly inhibits E1B-55K association with PML nuclear bodies and the p53 nuclear export to cytoplasmic aggresomes observed in E1A-E1B-transformed cells. Purified E1B-55K and p53 form high-molecular-weight complexes potentially through the formation of a network of E1B-55K dimers bound to the N termini of p53 tetramers. In support of this model, a p53 mutation that prevents tetramer formation greatly reduces E1B-55K-induced tethering in PML nuclear bodies and p53 nuclear export. These data indicate that E1B-55K's association with PML nuclear bodies inactivates p53 by first sequestering it in PML nuclear bodies and then greatly facilitating its nuclear export.

Abstract Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a reciprocal 15; 17 chromosomal translocation, which fuses the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) and retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) genes, leading to the expression of the PML/RARα fusion oncoprotein. Immunocytochemical labeling of the wild-type PML protein with the PG-M3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) directed against the amino terminal portion of the human PML gene product, produces a characteristic nuclear speckled pattern that is due to localization of the protein into discrete dots (5 to 20 per nucleus), named PML nuclear bodies. The architecture of PML nuclear bodies appears to be disrupted in APL cells that bear the t(15; 17), thus resulting in a change of the nuclear staining pattern from speckled (wild-type PML protein) to microgranular (PML-RARα fusion protein). To assess whether the PG-M3 MoAb could assist in the diagnosis of APL (M3), bone marrow and/or peripheral blood samples from 100 cases of acute nonlymphoid leukemias of different subtypes were blindly immunostained with the PG-M3 MoAb, using the immunoalkaline phosphatase (APAAP) or immunofluorescence technique as detection system. Notably, the abnormal (micropunctate) pattern of the PML/RARα fusion protein (usually ≥50 small granules/per nucleus) was observed in APL (M3) samples, but not in other types of acute nonlymphoid leukemias. Immunocytochemical labeling with PG-M3 was particularly useful in the diagnosis of microgranular variant of APL (M3V) (three cases misdiagnosed as M4 and M5), and also to exclude a morphologic misdiagnosis of APL (six of 78 cases). In all cases investigated, immunocytochemical results were in agreement with those of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for PML/RARα. Because the epitope identified by PG-M3 is located in the aminoterminal portion of PML (AA 37 to 51), the antibody was suitable for recognizing APL cases characterized by breakpoint occurring at different sites of PML (bcr 1, bcr 2 and bcr 3). In conclusion, immunocytochemical labeling with PG-M3 represents a rapid, sensitive, and highly-specific test for the diagnosis of APL that bears the t(15; 17). This should allow an easy and correct diagnosis of this subtype of acute leukemia to any laboratory provided with a minimal equipment for immunocytochemistry work.

The adapter protein tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)1–associated death domain (TRADD) plays an essential role in recruiting signaling molecules to the TNFRI receptor complex at the cell membrane. Here we show that TRADD contains a nuclear export and import sequence that allow shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In the absence of export, TRADD is found within nuclear structures that are associated with promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) nuclear bodies. In these structures, the TRADD death domain (TRADD-DD) can activate an apoptosis pathway that is mechanistically distinct from its action at the membrane-bound TNFR1 complex. Apoptosis by nuclear TRADD-DD is promyelocytic leukemia protein dependent, involves p53, and is inhibited by Bcl-xL but not by caspase inhibitors or dominant negative FADD (FADD-DN). Conversely, apoptosis induced by TRADD in the cytoplasm is resistant to Bcl-xL, but sensitive to caspase inhibitors and FADD-DN. These data indicate that nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of TRADD leads to the activation of distinct apoptosis mechanisms that connect the death receptor apparatus to nuclear events.

In acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is fused to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR). Arsenic is an effective treatment for this disease as it induces SUMO-dependent ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of the PML-RAR fusion protein. Here we analyze the nuclear trafficking dynamics of PML and its SUMO-dependent ubiquitin E3 ligase, RNF4 in response to arsenic. After administration of arsenic, PML immediately transits into nuclear bodies where it undergoes SUMO modification. This initial recruitment of PML into nuclear bodies is not dependent on RNF4, but RNF4 quickly follows PML into the nuclear bodies where it is responsible for ubiquitylation of SUMO-modified PML and its degradation by the proteasome. While arsenic restricts the mobility of PML, FRAP analysis indicates that RNF4 continues to rapidly shuttle into PML nuclear bodies in a SUMO-dependent manner. Under these conditions FRET studies indicate that RNF4 interacts with SUMO in PML bodies but not directly with PML. These studies indicate that arsenic induces the rapid reorganization of the cell nucleus by SUMO modification of nuclear body-associated PML and uptake of the ubiquitin E3 ligase RNF4 leading to the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of PML.

Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (NBs) recruit partner proteins, including p53 and its regulators, thereby controlling their abundance or function. Investigating arsenic sensitivity of acute promyelocytic leukemia, we proposed that PML oxidation promotes NB biogenesis. However, physiological links between PML and oxidative stress response in vivo remain unexplored. Here, we identify PML as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensor. Pml−/− cells accumulate ROS, whereas PML expression decreases ROS levels. Unexpectedly, Pml−/− embryos survive acute glutathione depletion. Moreover, Pml−/− animals are resistant to acetaminophen hepatotoxicity or fasting-induced steatosis. Molecularly, Pml−/− animals fail to properly activate oxidative stress–responsive p53 targets, whereas the NRF2 response is amplified and accelerated. Finally, in an oxidative stress–prone background, Pml−/− animals display a longevity phenotype, likely reflecting decreased basal p53 activation. Thus, similar to p53, PML exerts basal antioxidant properties but also drives oxidative stress–induced changes in cell survival/proliferation or metabolism in vivo. Through NB biogenesis, PML therefore couples ROS sensing to p53 responses, shedding a new light on the role of PML in senescence or stem cell biology.
