“…However, actin filaments have been directly observed at the poles of mitotic spindles (Stevenson et al , ; Chodagam et al , ) and at the centrosome of several cell types in interphase (Farina et al , ; Obino et al , ; Au et al , ). Centrosomal actin filaments have been shown to anchor the centrosome to the nucleus (Bornens, ; Burakov & Nadezhdina, ; Obino et al , ), support the transport of vesicles during ciliogenesis (Assis et al , ; Wu et al , ), connect basal bodies to the actin cortex in ciliated cells (Pan et al , ; Antoniades et al , ; Walentek et al , ; Mahuzier et al , ) and power centrosome splitting in prophase (Uzbekov et al , ; Wang et al , ; Au et al , ).…”
