About This Section
Entrez Gene summary for PLK4:
This gene encodes a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein localizes to centrioles,
complex microtubule-based structures found in centrosomes, and regulates centriole duplication during the cell cycle.
Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been found for this gene.
(provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PLK4_HUMAN, O00444
Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a central role in centriole duplication. Able to trigger
procentriole formation on the surface of the parental centriole cylinder, leading to the recruitment of centriole
biogenesis proteins such as SASS6, CENPJ/CPAP, CCP110, CEP135 and gamma-tubulin. When overexpressed, it is able to
induce centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each parental
centriole during S phase. Phosphorylates 'Ser-151' of FBXW5 during the G1/S transition, leading to inhibit FBXW5
ability to ubiquitinate SASS6. Its central role in centriole replication suggests a possible role in tumorigenesis,
centrosome aberrations being frequently observed in tumors. Also involved in trophoblast differentiation by
phosphorylating HAND1, leading to disrupt the interaction between HAND1 and MDFIC and activate HAND1. Phosphorylates
CDC25C and CHEK2
