Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionplk-1 encodes a serine/threonine polo-like kinase homologous to Drosophila polo and Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDC5; during development, plk-1 functions to regulate meiotic cell cycle progression as well as embryonic cytoplasmic polarity in newly fertilized embryos and possibly germline development; specifically, plk-1 is required for meiotic nuclear envelope breakdown, polar body formation and extrusion, and proper chromosome segregation during meiosis possibly via phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of REC-8, a meiotic-specific cohesin; in regulating embryonic polarity, PLK-1 functions to regulate activity of the MEX-5/6 zinc-finger proteins, with which it interacts, via its polo box domain, in yeast two-hybrid assays; PLK-1 is localized diffusely in the cytoplasm of mature oocytes, but during meiosis I becomes associated with pre-metaphase chromatin and then at anaphase with chromatin and the area between dividing chromatin; in embryos, PLK-1 localizes to the cytoplasm of somatic blastomeres and during mitosis, to centrosomes, metaphase chromatin and, at telophase, to the area between dividing chromatin; the asymmetric localization of PLK-1 to somatic cytoplasm of early embryos is dependent upon the PAR proteins and MEX-5/6.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004215

Automated_descriptionEnables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in organelle organization; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in several cellular components, including condensed chromosome; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Expressed in AB and embryonic cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast carcinoma; reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Is an ortholog of human PLK1 (polo like kinase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
