Scientific Background: Plk1 is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub1RPKSF. Human Plk1 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 603 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 68,255 Da. It is a member of the Other group of protein kinases in the Plk family. This kinase shows high variability in human tissue distribution with the highest levels detected in colon, kidney, pancreas and testes, and is notably absent in brain and spinal cord. Orthologues of Plk1 are amongst the most highly conserved protein kinases in animals, plants, fungi and unicellular eukaryotes. Plk1 is activated by phosphorylation at S49, S137, T210, and S326. Plk1 localizes to centrosomes or spindle pole bodies and undergo dramatic subcellular relocation during the cell cycle. Deregulated activities of Plk's often result in abnormalities in centrosome duplication, maturation, and/or microtubule dynamics (1). Plk's also regulate the function of the Golgi complex. Deregulated expression of human Plk1 is strongly correlated with the development of many types of malignancies, and ectopic expression of Plk1 dominant negative protein leads to rapid cell death (2). Plk1 has been linked with the development of colon and prostate cancers and lung squamous cell carcinomas (LSCC).
