Active hydrothermal vents provide the surrounding submarine environment with substantial amounts of matter and energy, thus serving as important habitats for diverse megabenthic communities in the deep ocean and constituting a unique, highly productive chemosynthetic ecosystem on Earth. Vent-endemic biological communities gather near the venting site and are usually not found beyond a distance of the order of 100 m from the vent.

ProMyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein controls various biological functions, such as apoptosis, senescence or stem cell self-renewal. PML may elicit these functions by scaffolding the spherical shells of PML Nuclear Bodies (NBs), which subsequently act as hubs of post-translational modifications, in particular sumoylation, for the broad range of proteins trafficking through their inner cores. PML NBs are disrupted in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) driven by the PML-RARA oncogenic fusion prote...
