Application

Application Comment Organism
additional information role for PLK kinase activity in basal body and kinetoplast migration, PLK is essential for cytokinesis furrow ingression in bloodstream-form Trypanosoma brucei Trypanosoma brucei

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
overexpression of TY1-epitope-tagged PLK and a kinase-dead variant, results in the accumulation of cells that have divided their nucleus but not their kinetoplast (2N1K cells), kinetoplast is mainly found at the posterior end of the cell Trypanosoma brucei

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
N169A abrogates kinase activity, after PLK depletion the single kinetoplast is predominantly located between the two divided nuclei Trypanosoma brucei

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
RNA downregulates PLK, in procyclic forms inhibition of kinetoplast division, in bloodstream form also delayed kinetoplast division, which is further observed to inhibit furrow ingression during cytokinesis Trypanosoma brucei
