MT arrays maintain distinct territories in multinucleated D. discoideum cells. a Typical WT mononucleated cell, MTs are in green, nuclei in blue. b, c Binucleate examples of WT (b) and a kif9 ⁻ kinesin cell (c). In b and c, the MT arrays are largely separate from one another, with minimal overlap in the cytoplasm. Deletion of the kif9 kinesin detaches centrosomes from nuclei [54] and indicates here that centrosome position is independent of forces acting directly on nuclei. Bar 10 μm
