Take-Home messages
Plk1 is a major regulator of RhoA activity during acto-myosin
contraction:
a conserved function from yeast to mammals
a conserved function from proliferating to differentiated
cells
not only in cytokinesis: also during contraction of arterias
Mouse models provide a unique system to understand the
physiological relevance of proteins; hopefully before their inhibitors
reach the Clinic
Arteria function and structure should be monitored during therapeutic
treatments with volasertib against cancer (e.g. AML)
