Polo-like kinase-1 controls Aurora A destruction by activating APC/C-Cdh1.

Polo-like kinase-1 controls Aurora A destruction by activating APC/C-Cdh1.

Polo-like kinase-1 (Plk1) is activated before mitosis by Aurora A and its cofactor Bora. In mitosis, Bora is degraded in a manner dependent on Plk1 kinase activity and the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCF-betaTrCP. Here, we show that Plk1 is also required for the timely destruction of its activator Aurora A...
