Abstract excerpt
The Polo-like kinases (Plks) are a conserved subfamily of serine-threonine protein kinases that have significant roles in cell proliferation. The serine/threonine protein kinases or polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) exist in centrosome during interphase and is an important regulatory enzyme in cell cycle progression during M phase. Mutations in mammalian PLK1 were found to be over expressed in various human cancers and...
