Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23180761, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9618508}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17563354, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19652551, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23180761}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21639834}. Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27063109}. Note=Gamma-irradiation leads to its translocation from nucleoli to nucleoplasm and PML regulates the irradiation-induced WRN relocation (PubMed:21639834). Localizes to DNA damage sites (PubMed:27063109). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21639834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27063109}.
