title: Cell cycle: on-time delivery of Plk1 during cytokinesis.
abstract: At anaphase, the kinase Plk1 localizes to the spindle midzone, where it orchestrates cytokinesis. New work has now identified PRC1 as a Plk1-delivery factor that is tightly controlled by opposing cyclin B-Cdk1- and Plk1-dependent phosphorylations.
