Abstract:
Highlights? The Plk4 cryptic polo box is a structurally unique, tandem polo box array: PB1-PB2 ? Full length Plk4 comprises three polo box domains, a unique polo kinase architecture ? The Plk4 PB1-PB2 cassette is required for Asterless binding and centriole targeting ? The Plk4 PB1-PB2 homodimer potentiates Plk4 degradation
