Another example of this sequential PML preconditioning occurs with the extracellular signal regulated kinase 2 (ERK2), which is able to localize to the PML-NBs in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), phosphorylate PML at two sites (S403 and S505), resulting in the recruitment of Pin1, and subsequent proteasomal degradation of PML by yet to be identified E3 ligase (Lim et al., 2011). Here, PML is linked to breast carcinoma.
