STIL binding to Polo-box 3 of PLK4 regulates centriole duplication [PDF]
Polo-like kinases (PLK) are eukaryotic regulators of cell cycle progression, mitosis and cytokinesis; PLK4 is a master regulator of centriole duplication.

Plk4-dependent phosphorylation of STIL is required for centriole duplication
Duplication of centrioles, namely the formation of a procentriole next to the parental centriole, is regulated by the polo-like kinase Plk4. Only a few other proteins, including STIL (SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus, SIL) and Sas-6, are required for the ...

Bimodal Binding of STIL to Plk4 Controls Proper Centriole Copy Number
Summary: The number of centrioles is tightly controlled to ensure bipolar spindle assembly, which is a prerequisite to maintain genome integrity. However, our understanding of the fundamental principle that governs the formation of a single procentriole ...

Use of the Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) inhibitor centrinone to investigate intracellular signalling networks using SILAC-based phosphoproteomics [PDF]
Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is the master regulator of centriole duplication in metazoan organisms. Catalytic activity and protein turnover of PLK4 are tightly coupled in human cells, since changes in PLK4 concentration and catalysis have profound effects ...

Characterizing interacting partners and substrates of PLK4 [PDF]
Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is a serine/threonine kinase that is implicated in a variety of cellular processes including centrosome dynamics, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and epigenetics. PLK4 overexpression is sufficient to induce centrosome amplification,

On the regulation of centriole duplication in human cells : exploring the interactions of polo-like kinase 4 with the centrosomal proteins Cep192 and STIL [PDF]
Centrioles duplicate once in each cell cycle to give rise to two centrosomes that form the spindle poles during mitosis. Aberrant centriole duplication can result in the formation of supernumerary centrosomes, leading to incorrect spindle assembly and ...

Control of centriole numbers by Plk4 autophosphorylation and βTrCP-mediated degradation [PDF]
Proper centrosome numbers are imperative for faithful cell division, as aberrant centrosome numbers can lead to chromosomal instability, a hallmark of cancer development (Nigg 2002; Ganem et al., 2009).

Investigation of human centrosomes - with a special focus on the function of Cep152 and Cep192 in centriole duplication [PDF]
Centrioles are symmetrical, barrel-shaped, microtubule-based structures, that serve as building platforms for the formation of centrosomes and cilia. In dividing cells, they recruit a matrix of proteins called pericentriolar material (PCM) to form the ...
