Enzymes of the Polo-like kinase family are active in the pathways controlling mitosis in several species. CDNA fragments of the porcine homologues of Plk1, Plk2, and Plk3 were cloned. All three cDNAs show high sequence homology with their mouse and human counterparts and contain the Polo box. In synchronized porcine fetal fibroblasts, Plk1 mRNA was barely detectable in G0 and G1, increased during S phase and peaked after G2/M transition. Porcine Plk1 protein was detected at the beginning of S phase and was highest after the G2/M transition. In summary, the Plk1 expression pattern in the pig is similar to that reported for other species.
