Role of Polo-like Kinases Plk1 and Plk4 in the Initiation of Centriole Duplication—Impact on Cancer
24 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Centrosomes nucleate and anchor microtubules and therefore play major roles in spindle formation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Duplication of the centrosome occurs, similar to DNA, only once during the cell cycle. Aberration of the centrosome number is common in human tumors. At the core of centriole duplication is the conserved polo-like kinase 4, Plk4, and two structural proteins, STIL and Sas-6....
