Abstract
Centrosome positioning is tightly controlled throughout the cell cycle and probably shares common regulatory mechanisms with spindle‐pole positioning. In this article, we detail the possible mechanisms controlling centrosome and spindle positioning in various organisms both in interphase and mitotic cells, and discuss recent findings showing how microtubule plus‐end‐associated proteins interact with the cell cortex. We suggest that microtubule plus‐end complexes simultaneously regulate microtubule dynamics and microtubule anchoring at the cell periphery to allow proper centrosome and spindle‐pole positioning.Keywords
