Membranous organelles interact with a wide variety of cytoskeletal proteins that allow them to be organized into dynamic, yet stable, structures with distinct subcellular addresses. This review provides an up‐to‐date summary of the motor enzymes and membrane‐microtubule crosslinking proteins that have been implicated in this process, and discusses the potential impact membrane anchoring may have on cellular architecture.
