A Quantitative ELISA Assay for the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Protein [PDF]
Non-coding (CGG-repeat) expansions in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene result in a spectrum of disorders involving altered neurodevelopment (fragile X syndrome), neurodegeneration (late-onset fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome), or primary ovarian insufficiency. While reliable and quantitative assays for the number of CGG repeats

Oligomerization properties of fragile-X mental-retardation protein (FMRP) and the fragile-X-related proteins FXR1P and FXR2P [PDF]
The absence of fragile-X mental-retardation protein (FMRP) results in fragile-X syndrome. Two other fragile-X-related (FXR) proteins have been described, FXR1P and FXR2P, which are both very similar in amino acid sequence to FMRP. Interaction between the three proteins as well as with themselves has been demonstrated.

Modeling Fragile X Syndrome in Drosophila
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism are hallmarks of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder. The gene responsible for FXS is Fragile X Mental Retardation gene 1 (FMR1) encoding the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein ...

Premutation in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) Gene Affects Maternal Zn-milk and Perinatal Brain Bioenergetics and Scaffolding. [PDF]
Fragile X premutation alleles have 55-200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. Altered zinc (Zn) homeostasis has been reported in fibroblasts from >60 years old premutation carriers, in which Zn supplementation significantly restored Zn ...

Shared Mechanisms in Dementia and Depression: The Modulatory Role of Physical Exercise
Dementia and depression are two prevalent disorders that warrant attention due to their high prevalence and contribution to the global burden of disease. Depression is a prevalent condition among the elderly population, and it has been identified as a risk factor for dementia, thus becoming an important factor for dementia prevention strategies ...

Interactions of the Fragile X Protein Family with the G Quadruplex Forming RNA Targets [PDF]
The absence of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) causes Fragile X Syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation. FMRP, an RNA binding protein and, part of large ribonucleoprotein complexes, is proposed to participate in the ...

FMR1: A Neurodevelopmental Factor Regulating Cell Metabolism in the Tumor Microenvironment
The Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene is well-known for its role in Fragile X syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, but emerging evidence suggests its involvement in regulating cellular metabolism, with implications for cancer biology.
