Encompassing Amino Acids: full length
Applications: Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
Assay Conditions: Enzyme reaction is conducted in a buffer containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 200 µM ATP, 0.01% Brij-35 and 2 µM substrate (Ser/Thr Peptide 16, Invitrogen) at 30° for 1 hour.
Background: PLK1 is a member of the Polo-Like Kinase family that localize to centrosomes or spindle pole bodies and undergo dramatic subcellular relocation during the cell cycle. Deregulated activities of PLKs often result in abnormalities in centrosome duplication, maturation, and/or microtubule dynamics. PLKs 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.
