FMRP-Mediated Axonal Delivery of miR-181d Regulates Axon Elongation by Locally Targeting Map1b and Calm1

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Subcellular targeting and local translation of mRNAs are critical for axon development. However, the precise local control of mRNA translation requires investigation.

FMRP S499 is phosphorylated independent of mTORC1-S6K1 activity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Hyperactive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is associated with cognitive deficits in several neurological disorders including tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The phosphorylation of the mRNA-binding protein FMRP reportedly depends on mTOR complex 1

BDNF Regulates the Expression of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein mRNA in the Hippocampus

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2002
Both fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are implicated in the maturation of neurons and in the higher cognitive functions.

Treatment of Fragile X Syndrome with Cannabidiol: A Case Series Study and Brief Review of the Literature. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an X-linked dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene. Cannabidiol (CBD) is an exogenous phytocannabinoid with therapeutic potential for individuals with anxiety, poor sleep, and ...

Reduced Levels of the Synaptic Functional Regulator FMRP in Dentate Gyrus of the Aging Sprague-Dawley Rat

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) encoded by Fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene is a RNA-binding regulator of mRNA translation, transport and stability with multiple targets responsible for proper synaptic function. Epigenetic silencing

Toward peptide-based protein replacement in fragile X syndrome: Evaluating the N-tat strategy

open access: yesMedicine in Drug Discovery
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), a leading inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism, arises from loss of the RNA-binding protein FMRP and consequent dysregulation of synaptic mRNA translation.

ESCRT-III Membrane Trafficking Misregulation Contributes To Fragile X Syndrome Synaptic Defects

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The leading cause of heritable intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Fragile X syndrome (FXS), is caused by loss of the mRNA-binding translational suppressor Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP).

Network assisted analysis to reveal the genetic basis of autism

open access: yes, 2015
While studies show that autism is highly heritable, the nature of the genetic basis of this disorder remains illusive. Based on the idea that highly correlated genes are functionally interrelated and more likely to affect risk, we develop a novel ...
