Grabbing Plk1 by the PBD [PDF]
A new centromeric protein termed PBIP1 was identified that recruits Plk1 to the kinetochores. In the November 3 issue of Molecular Cell, show that Plk1 phosphorylates PBIP1 on threonine 78, creating its own high-affinity docking site for the polo-box domain (PBD).

Background More than 90% of the mortality of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients is attributed to cancer metastasis with organotropism. The lung is a frequent site of TNBC metastasis.

Protein diversity due to alternative mRNA splicing or post-translational modifications (PTMs) plays a vital role in various cellular functions. The mitotic kinases polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and Aurora B (AURKB) phosphorylate survivin, an inhibitor of ...

Present and Future Perspective on PLK1 Inhibition in Cancer Treatment
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is the principle member of the well conserved serine/threonine kinase family. PLK1 has a key role in the progression of mitosis and recent evidence suggest its important involvement in regulating the G2/M checkpoint, in DNA ...

CCNE1 and PLK1 Mediate Resistance to Palbociclib in HR+/HER2− Metastatic Breast Cancer
Purpose: In hormone receptor–positive (HR+)/HER2− metastatic breast cancer (MBC), it is imperative to identify patients who respond poorly to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and to discover therapeutic targets to reverse this resistance.

Overexpression of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) has been found in many different types of cancers. With its essential role in cell proliferation, PLK1 has been determined to be a broad-spectrum anti-cancer target.

Rationale: β-catenin is a component for cell adhesion and a transcriptional coactivator in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Previously we found that catalytically active PLK1 drives EMT in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), upregulating ...

A unified view of spatio-temporal control of mitotic entry: Polo kinase as the key [PDF]
The Polo kinase is an essential regulator of cell division. Its ability to regulate multiple events at distinct subcellular locations and times during mitosis is remarkable. In the last few years, a much clearer mechanistic understanding of the functions
