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.

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 ...

Immune dysregulation as a cause of autoinflammation in fragile X premutation carriers: link between FMRI CGG repeat number and decreased cytokine responses. [PDF]
BackgroundIncreased rates of autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders have been observed in female premutation carriers of CGG repeat expansion alleles of between 55-200 repeats in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene.

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 ...

Fragile phagocytes: FMRP positively regulates engulfment activity [PDF]
Defective immune system function is implicated in autism spectrum disorders, including Fragile X syndrome. In this issue, O’Connor et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607093) demonstrate that phagocytic activity of systemic immune cells is compromised in a Drosophila melanogaster model of Fragile X, highlighting intriguing new ...

FMRP regulates tangential neuronal migration via MAP1B
ABSTRACT The Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) represents the most prevalent form of inherited intellectual disability and is the first monogenic cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder. FXS results from the absence of the RNA-binding protein FMRP (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein). Neuronal migration is an essential step of brain

The translational regulator FMRP controls lipid and glucose metabolism in mice and humans
Objectives: The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is a widely expressed RNA-binding protein involved in translation regulation. Since the absence of FMRP leads to Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and autism, FMRP has been extensively studied in brain ...
