General description

Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4 (PLK-4) is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and plays an essential role in centriole duplication. PLK-4 triggers procentriole formation on the surface of the parental centriole cylinder, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins. It may be involved in tumorigenesis since centrosome aberrations are frequently observed in tumors. PLK-4 may also be involved in trophoblast differentiation by phosphorylating HAND1, leading to the disruption between HAND1 and MDFIC and then activating HAND1.

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to Human PLK-4.

Application

Detect Polo Like Kinase (PLK) using this mouse monoclonal antibody, Anti-PLK-4 Antibody, clone 6H5 validated for use in western blotting, ICC & IP.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected PLK-4 in U20S cell lysates transfected with control and Cep152 siRNA, but not U2OS cell lysates transfected with PLK4 siRNA. (Cizmecioglu, O. et al. (2010). J Cell Biol. 191(4):731-739).
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated PLK-4 in HeLa cell lysates cotransfected with Flag-tagged Gcp6 and Myc-tagged Plk-4 (Bahtz, R. et al. (2012). J Cell Sci. 125 (Pt 2): 486-496).

The centriole is the microtubule-based backbone that ensures integrity, function, and cell cycle-dependent duplication of centrosomes. Mostly unclear mechanisms control structural integrity of centrioles. Here, we show that the centrosome protein CEP350 functions as scaffold that coordinates distal-end properties of

Formation of one procentriole next to each pre-existing centriole is essential for centrosome duplication, robust bipolar spindle assembly and maintenance of genome integrity. However, the mechanisms maintaining strict control over centriole copy number are incompletely understood. Here we show that

At the onset of procentriole formation, a structure called the cartwheel is formed adjacent to the pre-existing centriole. SAS-6 proteins are thought to constitute the hub of the cartwheel structure. However, the exact function of the cartwheel in the process

The centrosome assembles a bipolar spindle for faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. To prevent the inheritance of DNA damage, the DNA damage response (DDR) triggers programmed spindle multipolarity and concomitant death in mitosis through a poorly understood mechanism. We identified

The decision to commit to the cell cycle is made during G1 through the concerted action of various cyclin-CDK complexes. Not only DNA replication, but also centriole duplication is initiated as cells enter the S-phase. The NIMA-related kinase NEK7 is
