SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular

	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,mitotic spindle
	intracellular,nuclear envelope
text	nuclear membrane at interphase, spindle poles and mitotic spindles throughout mitosis, midbody at telophase

basic FUNCTION	serine/threonine protein kinase involved in regulating M phase functions
	stress response protein that becomes phosphorylated following DNA damage or mitotic spindle disruption
	may regulate entry into S phase in part through interaction with the phosphatase CDC25A, because its depletion also resulted in attenuation of cyclin E expression
	its activation might cause cytoskeleton re-organization and result in growth suppression more pronouncedly in Ras pathway-activated cells
	functions as an important regulator for cell proliferation and it suppresses tumorigenesis
	new and essential player in the regulation of the hypoxia signaling pathway
	essential component in the regulatory network of cell survival, angiogenesis, and hypoxic responses

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell cycle, division, mitosis
	cell life, cell death/apoptosis

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	regulating the onset and/or progression of mitosis
	dysregulated expression results in cell arrest and apoptosis

PATHWAY

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	regulating the dissociation of cohesin from chromosome in prophase
	interacting with CIB1
	topoisomerase IIalpha (TOP2A) is a novel physiological substrate for PLK3 and that PLK1 and PLK3 play different roles in cell-cycle regulation
	is a negative regulator of HIF-1A stability
	CIB1 is involved in regulating endomitosis, perhaps through its interaction with PLK3

cell & other

REGULATION

induced by

hypoxic stress (hypoxia/reoxygenation induces PLK3 activation instead of the JNK effect to directly phosphorylate and activate JUN, subsequently contributing to apoptosis in corneal epithelial cells)

Other	cell cycle regulated,peak at S and G2 stages through perturbation of microtubule integrety
	regulated by TTP(tristetraprolin) (regulation of PLK3 mRNA stability by TTP may influence the control of the cell cycle by this protein kinase)
