Figure 2.
The various functions of the centrosome. The figure summarizes the main activities of the centrosome, including (A) organization of membrane organelles (e.g., recycling endosome); (B) cilium formation and function; (C) spindle pole maturation during mitosis; and (D) formation of an immunological synapse, in which a natural killer cell recognizes an infected cell. IFT, intraflagellar transport; RE, recycling endosome.
