Developmentally-programmed FMRP expression in oligodendrocytes: a potential role of FMRP in regulating translation in oligodendroglia progenitors [PDF]
The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a selective RNA-binding protein whose function is implicated in regulating protein synthesis of its mRNA targets. The lack of FMRP leads to abnormal synapse development in the brain and impaired learning/memory.

O Desenvolvimento Docente na FMRP-USP: contexto histórico
O objetivo desse artigo é contextualizar historicamente as ações de desenvolvimento docente realizadas na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (FMRP-USP) desde sua fundação até a criação do Centro de Desenvolvimento Docente para o Ensino (CDDE) para as Profissões da Saúde, que foi a primeira unidade formal da instituição

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by silencing of the FMR1 gene, which encodes a protein with a critical role in synaptic plasticity. The molecular abnormality underlying FMR1 silencing, CGG repeat expansion, is well characterized; however, delineation ...

Protein synthesis at synaptic sites on dendrites [PDF]
Studies over the past 20 years have revealed that gene expression in neurons is carried out by a distributed network of translational machinery. One component of this network is localized in dendrites, where polyribosomes and associated membranous ...

Epitranscriptome and FMRP Regulated mRNA Translation [PDF]
An important regulatory mechanism affecting mRNA translation involves various covalent modifications of RNA, which establish distinct epitranscriptomic signatures that actively influence various physiological processes. Dendritic translation in mammalian neurons is a potent target for RNA modification-based regulation.

The Fragile X Protein binds mRNAs involved in cancer progression and modulates metastasis formation
The role of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is well established in brain, where its absence leads to the fragile X syndrome (FXS). FMRP is almost ubiquitously expressed, suggesting that, in addition to its effects in brain, it may have ...

Dynamic scaffolds for neuronal signaling: in silico analysis of the TANC protein family [PDF]
The emergence of genes implicated across multiple comorbid neurologic disorders allows to identify shared underlying molecular pathways. Recently, investigation of patients with diverse neurologic disorders found TANC1 and TANC2 as possible candidate ...

FMRP: a triple threat to PSD-95 [PDF]
Autism is a spectrum of developmental disorders characterized by deficits in verbal and non-verbal communication, social awareness and interactions, and imaginative play (Caronna et al., 2008). There is a strong genetic basis for autism, which is highly comorbid with single-gene disorders including fragile X syndrome (FXS) (Wang et al., 2010). The main

Cellular localization of the FMRP in rat retina [PDF]
Abstract The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a regulator of local translation through its mRNA targets in the neurons. Previous studies have demonstrated that FMRP may function in distinct ways during the development of different visual subcircuits.
