Journal ArticleDOI

Coordinate regulation of the mother centriole component Nlp by Nek2 and Plk1 protein kinases

TL;DR: It is shown that human Nlp and its Xenopus homologue, X-Nlp, are also phosphorylated by the cell cycle-regulated Nek2 kinase, the first example of a protein involved in microtubule organization that is coordinately regulated at the G2/M transition by two centrosomal kinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plk1 and Mps1 Cooperatively Regulate the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint in Human Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Plk1 strengthens the robustness of SAC establishment at the onset of mitosis and supports SAC maintenance during prolonged mitotic arrest.
Journal ArticleDOI

A second higher vertebrate B-type lamin. cDNA sequence determination and in vitro processing of chicken lamin B2.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the transiently expressed variant of lamin B2 represent a bonafide precursor, and that two distinct activities are involved in processing of newly synthesized lamins A and B2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of centrosome separation after DNA damage : a role for Nek2

TL;DR: It is confirmed using siRNA that centrosome separation and cell growth are impaired in the absence of Nek2, which defines a previously unreported DNA damage response of inhibition of centrosomes separation mechanistically linked to Nek2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell cycle-regulated phosphorylation of the Xenopus polo-like kinase Plx1.

TL;DR: Combined tryptic phosphopeptide mapping with mass spectrometry is combined to identify four major phosphorylation sites in Xenopus Plx1 that appear to be phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
