Pinning down the polo-box domain
Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) appears to be an attractive target for anticancer therapy. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Reindl et al. (2008) describe the identification of a small molecule called Poloxin that appears to interfere with the function of the polo-box domain (PBD) of Plk1.
