Promyelocytic Leukemia Protein (PML) Controls <italic toggle="yes">Listeria monocytogenes</italic> Infection

ABSTRACT The promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is the main organizer of stress-responsive subnuclear structures called PML nuclear bodies. These structures recruit multiple interactors and modulate their abundance or their posttranslational modifications, notably by the SUMO ubiquitin-like modifi...
