Polo-like Kinase (PLK)

Polo-like Kinases (PLKs) are a group of highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinases that play a key role in processes such as cell division and checkpoint regulation of mitosis. In mammals, five PLKs (PLK 1-5) encompass diverse roles in centrosome dynamics, spindle formation, intra S-phase and G2/M checkpoints, and DNA damage response.

PLKs are characterized by their Polo-box domain, which mediates protein interactions. They are additionally controlled by phosphorylation, proteolysis, and transcription, depending on the biological context. PLKs are now recognized to link cell division to developmental processes and to function in differentiated cells.

    Poloxin-2
    Inhibitor
    Poloxin-2 is a small molecule Plk1 PBD inhibitor that can effectively induce cell mitotic arrest with an EC50 of approximately 15 μM in HeLa cells. Poloxin-2HT was developed by conjugating a hydrophobic tag (HT) to Poloxin-2, a new application of inhibitors targeting protein-protein interactions. Poloxin-2HT significantly enhanced the effects on cell viability and apoptosis by selectively degrading Plk1 protein, and its effect was stronger than that of untagged Poloxin-2. These data validate hydrophobic tags as a new strategy for targeting and disrupting disease-associated proteins.
