PLK1 is upstream of Nek2 in promoting removal of the centriolar linker at the G2/M transition. PLK1 also negative regulates the dynein-dynactin complex at the cell cortex in order to ensure proper spindle positioning. These processes promote mitotic spindle formation and centrosome separation during cell division.
