The dynein motor complex has a variety of important functions in both dividing and non-dividing cells. Here, Gallisà et al. describe a mode of regulation of dynein based on the phosphorylation of its adaptor BICD2 by the kinase PLK1, and how this is central for the regulation of centrosome position in G2 and M.
