Polo-like kinase; controls targeting and activation of Rho1p at cell division site via Rho1p guanine nucleotide exchange factors; regulates Spc72p; also functions in adaptation to DNA damage during meiosis; regulates the shape of the nucleus and expansion of the nuclear envelope during mitosis; similar to Xenopus Plx1 and S. pombe Plo1p; human homologs PLK1, PLK3 can each complement yeast cdc5 thermosensitive mutants [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004603]
