Function

Multicilin coopts the inhibitory E2fs to activate key components that drive centriole assembly during the centriolar cycle, such as Plk4, Cep152, and Stil, while also activating the expression of deup1, the paralog of cep63 required for centriole assembly via the deuterosome rather than the centriolar pathway(24240477, 24934224)
