McIdas localizes to centrioles and controls centriole numbers through PLK4-dependent phosphorylation

EMBO Reports
The centriole duplication cycle must be tightly controlled and coordinated with the chromosome cycle. Aberrations in centriole biogenesis can cause developmental disorders, ciliopathies and cancer, yet the molecular determinants controlling centriole ...

Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.

A polo-like kinase modulates cytokinesis and flagella biogenesis in Giardia lamblia

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Polo-like kinases (PLKs) are conserved serine/threonine kinases that regulate the cell cycle. To date, the role of Giardia lamblia PLK (GlPLK) in cells has not been studied. Here, we report our investigation on the function of GlPLK to provide

A guide to transcriptional cyclin‐dependent kinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transcriptional cyclin‐dependent‐kinases (tCDKs) facilitate gene expression by promoting RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) progression through discrete phases of the transcription cycle. Aberrant tCDK activity is detectable in different human cancers, thereby contributing to de‐regulated gene expression programs that drive oncogenic phenotypes.

Irradiation‐Induced CD62L Shedding in Human Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Depends on ADAM17 and p38 MAPK

Immunology, EarlyView.
Human plasmacytoid dendritic cell‐based vaccines efficiently migrate from blood to lymph nodes and prime naive T cells in humanised mice. Irradiation‐induced CD62L shedding, mediated by p38 MAP kinase and ADAM17, is involved in the regulation of PDC migration to secondary lymphoid organs in this model.

Expression and clinical significance ofPLK4 gene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its effect on cell proliferation, invasion and migration

Zhongguo aizheng zazhi, 2021
Background and purpose: As a protein kinase that regulates the cell cycle, polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is involved in mitosis initiation, centrosome maturation, cytokinesis, DNA damage detection, etc., which is highly expressed in a variety of tumors ...

Polo-like kinase 1 directs assembly of the HsCyk-4 RhoGAP/Ect2 RhoGEF complex to initiate cleavage furrow formation.

PLoS Biology, 2009
To complete cell division with high fidelity, cytokinesis must be coordinated with chromosome segregation. Mammalian Polo-like kinase 1, Plk1, may function as a critical link because it is required for chromosome segregation and establishment of the ...

The Sleeping Giant: Metabolism and Autophagy in the Generation and Survival of Dormant Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) arise in response to stress and play a critical role in therapy resistance and tumor dormancy. These cells can evade conventional treatments and later contribute to cancer relapse by generating progeny through nonmitotic, amitotic mechanisms.

Entwicklung und Etablierung von induzierbaren RNAi-Systemen zur Regulierung der Expression von Polo-like Kinase 1 (Plk1) in vitro und in vivo [PDF]

, 2007
RNA-Interferenz (RNAi) erlangte eine herausragende Bedeutung zum Studium der Genfunktion, nachdem auch in Säugersystemen gezeigt wurde, daß durch Applikation von 21 nt langen siRNAs (small interfering RNAs) eine Sequenz-spezifische Degradierung der mRNA ...
