Fragile X mental retardation protein interacts with the RNA-binding protein Caprin1 in neuronal RiboNucleoProtein complexes [corrected]. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome is caused by the absence of the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding protein. FMRP is associated with messenger RiboNucleoParticles (mRNPs) present in polyribosomes and its absence in neurons leads to alteration ...

Quantitative nucleotide level analysis of regulation of translation in response to depolarization of cultured neural cells [PDF]
Studies on regulation of gene expression have contributed substantially to understanding mechanisms for the long-term activity-dependent alterations in neural connectivity that are thought to mediate learning and memory.

FMRP Interacts with C/D Box snoRNA in the Nucleus and Regulates Ribosomal RNA Methylation
Summary: FMRP is an RNA-binding protein that is known to localize in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Here, we have identified an interaction of FMRP with a specific set of C/D box snoRNAs in the nucleus.

Targeting FMRP: A new window for cancer immunotherapy
FMRP is regulated by Myc and is highly expressed in a variety of human and mouse tumor tissues.FMRP recruits Treg and M2 macrophages to form an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by IL3, PROS1 and exosomes.FMRP-KO up-regulates tumor cell secretion of CCL7, which directly activates and recruits CD8+ T cells.FMRP-KO recruits CCR5 and CXCR4 receptor-

Genetic association of FMRP targets with psychiatric disorders [PDF]
Abstract Genes encoding the mRNA targets of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) are enriched for genetic association with psychiatric disorders. However, many FMRP targets possess functions that are themselves genetically associated with psychiatric disorders, including synaptic transmission and plasticity, making it unclear ...

PAK in Alzheimer disease, Huntington disease and X-linked mental retardation. [PDF]
Developmental cognitive deficits including X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) can be caused by mutations in P21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) that disrupt actin dynamics in dendritic spines.

Nuclear Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein is localized to Cajal bodies. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome is caused by loss of function of a single gene encoding the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP). This RNA-binding protein, widely expressed in mammalian tissues, is particularly abundant in neurons and is a component of ...

Autism as a disorder of neural information processing: directions for research and targets for therapy [PDF]
The broad variation in phenotypes and severities within autism spectrum disorders suggests the involvement of multiple predisposing factors, interacting in complex ways with normal developmental courses and gradients. Identification of these factors, and
