- The PML protein was first identified as part of a fusion product with the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha), resulting from the t(15;17) chromosomal translocation associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). It has been previously demonstrated that PML, which is tightly bound to the nuclear matrix, concentrates in discrete subnuclear compartments that are disorganized in APL cells due to the expression of the PML-RAR alpha hybrid. Here we report that adenovirus infection causes a drastic redistribution of PML from spherical nuclear bodies into fibrous structures. The product encoded by adenovirus E4-ORF3 is shown to be responsible for this reorganization and to colocalize with PML into these fibers. In addition, we demonstrate that E1A oncoproteins concentrate in the PML domains, both in infected and transiently transfected cells, and that this association requires the conserved amino acid motif (D)LXCXE, common to all viral oncoproteins that bind pRB or the related p107 and p130 proteins. The SV-40 large T antigen, another member of this oncoprotein family is also found in close association with the PML nuclear bodies. Taken together, the present data indicate that the subnuclear domains containing PML represent a preferential target for DNA tumor viruses, and therefore suggest a more general involvement of the PML nuclear bodies in oncogenic processes.

- Ribonucleotide reductases provide the building blocks for DNA replication in all living cells. Three different classes of enzymes use protein free radicals to activate the substrate. Aerobic class I enzymes generate a tyrosyl radical with an iron-oxygen center and dioxygen, class II enzymes employ adenosylcobalamin, and the anaerobic class III enzymes generate a glycyl radical from S-adenosylmethionine and an iron-sulfur cluster. The X-ray structure of the class I Escherichia coli enzyme, including forms that bind substrate and allosteric effectors, confirms previous models of catalytic and allosteric mechanisms. This structure suggests considerable mobility of the protein during catalysis and, together with experiments involving site-directed mutants, suggests a mechanism for radical transfer from one subunit to the other. Despite large differences between the classes, common catalytic and allosteric mechanisms, as well as retention of critical residues in the protein sequence, suggest a similar tertiary structure and a common origin during evolution. One puzzling aspect is that some organisms contain the genes for several different reductases.
