Pan-Specific Inhibitor of the Polo-Box Domains of Polo-like Kinases Arrests Cancer Cells in Mitosis

Playing polo: Small-molecule inhibitors of polo-like kinase 1 are mostly ATP-competitive, and thus face enormous specificity hurdles. This communication explores the concept of inhibiting Plk1 with a small-molecule inhibitor of the protein-protein interactions required for Plk1 function.
