Applications

Target

• FunctionSerine/threonine-protein kinase that performs several important functions throughout M phase of the cell cycle, including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly, the removal of cohesins from chromosome arms, the inactivation of APC/C inhibitors, and the regulation of mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Required for recovery after DNA damage checkpoint and entry into mitosis. Required for kinetochore localization of BUB1B. Phosphorylates SGOL1. Required for spindle pole localization of isoform 3 of SGOL1 and plays a role in regulating its centriole cohesion function. Phosphorylates BORA, and thereby promotes the degradation of BORA. Contributes to the regulation of AURKA function. Regulates TP53 stability through phosphorylation of TOPORS.
• Tissue specificityPlacenta and colon.
• Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.
  Contains 2 POLO box domains.
  Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
• Developmental stageAccumulates to a maximum during the G2 and M phases, declines to a nearly undetectable level following mitosis and throughout G1 phase, and then begins to accumulate again during S phase.
• Post-translational
  modificationsCatalytic activity is enhanced by phosphorylation of Thr-210. Phosphorylation at Thr-210 is first detected on centrosomes in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, peaks in prometaphase and gradually disappears from centrosomes during anaphase.
  Autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of Ser-137 may not be significant for the activation of PLK1 during mitosis, but may enhance catalytic activity during recovery after DNA damage checkpoint.
  Ubiquitinated by the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) in anaphase and following DNA damage, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitination is mediated via its interaction with FZR1/CDH1. Ubiquitination and subsequent degradation prevents entry into mitosis and is essential to maintain an efficient G2 DNA damage checkpoint.
• Cellular localizationNucleus. Chromosome > centromere > kinetochore. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > centrosome. During early stages of mitosis, the phosphorylated form is detected on centrosomes and kinetochores. Localizes to the outer kinetochore. Presence of SGOL1 and interaction with the phosphorylated form of BUB1 is required for the kinetochore localization.

  Immunofluorescence - Plk1 antibody [Mixed clones] (ab14210)Giulia Guarguaglini and Maria De Luca

  Human U2OS cells were fixed for 10 minutes in 3.7% formaldehyde (30mM sucrose) and permeabilized for 5 minutes in PBS-Triton (0.1%). The fixed cells were blocked for 30 minutes then incubated for 40 minutes with 3µg/ml anti-Pkl1, ab14210, (green) and anti-Centrin (red). The DNA was counterstained with DAPI (blue). All incubations were carried out at room temperature.
  
  The staining pattern shows that ab14210 localizes to the centrosomes during most of mitosis (upper panel) and the midbody during telophase (lower panel). The centrosomal pool of Plk1 can be seen by comparing with centrin, a centriolar marker. An alternative antibody, Rabbit polyclonal to Plk1 (ab14209) can be used to selectively stain the kinetochore-associated Plk1.
