PLK2 Gene

Name polo-like kinase 2
Description The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases that have a role in normal cell division. This gene is most abundantly expressed in testis, spleen and fetal tissues, and its expression is inducible by serum, suggesting that it may also play an important role in cells undergoing rapid cell division. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPLK2 is emerging as a critical regulator of cell‐cycle progression and centrosome dynamics. Several studies have demonstrated that PLK2 operates during early G1/S transition to ensure proper centrosome reproduction and genomic stability. In tumor cells, PLK2 functions at a mitotic checkpoint to prevent mitotic catastrophe following spindle damage, and its kinase activity is tightly controlled via interactions and phosphorylation events with key substrates such as F‐box proteins, CPAP and NPM/B23 that mediate centriole duplication and S‐phase checkpoint integrity. Moreover, loss or dysregulation of PLK2 sensitizes cells to replication stress and abnormal mitotic progression."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "9"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the cancer context, PLK2 displays a dualistic role. In tumors harboring wild‐type p53, PLK2 appears to exert tumor suppressor activity by engaging with key regulators such as TSC1 to modulate mTOR signaling, whereas in settings with mutant p53 an oncogenic feedback loop can be established to promote chemoresistance. Its expression is further modulated by miRNAs (for example, miR-27b and miR-126) and epigenetic mechanisms (including promoter methylation), which impact chemosensitivity and correlate with clinical outcomes in malignancies such as colorectal, cervical, ovarian, and hematologic cancers. These studies support the notion that PLK2 is a promising theranostic marker and therapeutic target in human cancers."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "10", "end_ref": "22"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the nervous system, PLK2 has garnered significant attention for its role in modulating α‐synuclein biology—a key pathological feature in Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies.
