DISC1 is believed to be a genetic risk factor for schizophrenia, but its pathophysiological functions are not fully understood. Using proteomics, Tsuboi et al. identify several RNA-binding proteins, including HZF, as DISC1 interactors and reveal that DISC1, together with HZF, regulates the dendritic transport of ITPR1 mRNA to modulate synaptic plasticity.
