1 source for · 2 against

Centrioles do not actively auto-locate to opposite sides of the cell by themselves; rather, motor proteins (such as kinesins) actively push them along microtubules.

The Cep192-organized Aurora A-Plk1 cascade is essential for centrosome cycle and bipolar spindle assembly

Shows that kinesin-5 (motor proteins) mediates centrosome separation, disproving auto-location.
