One of the hardest working mitotic proteins, Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), functions at mitotic entry, cytokinesis, and many steps in between. In this issue, Xie et al. (2020) describe a centrosome-specific interaction between PLK1 and Retinoid X Receptor-α and they test selective inhibition of this interaction as an anti-mitotic cancer therapy.
