While OFD1 weakly binds mRNA, the presence of BICC1, an RNA-binding protein also found at the centrosome, allows OFD1 to mediate a stronger association between eIF4F via eIF4E and several centrosomal mRNAs that are implicated in ciliogenesis and renal cyst formation (Iaconis et al., 2017). Here, EIF4E is linked to Renal cyst.
