Abstract excerpt
Activation of the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint by DNA damage prevents cells from entering mitosis. Centrosome separation is initiated in G2 phase and completed in M phase. This critical process for cell division is targeted by G2/M checkpoint. Here we show that Plk1 signaling plays an important role in regulation of centrosome separation after DNA damage. Constitutively active Plk1 overrides the inhibition of...
