Fragile X mental retardation protein: from autism to neurodegenerative disease [PDF]
Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a RNA binding protein, the absence of which due to silencing of the FMR1 gene causes fragile X syndrome, an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder (Bassell and Warren, 2008; Bhakar et al., 2012; Santoro et al., 2012). FMRP regulates the transport, stability and translation of its mRNA targets.

Differential regulation of BK channels by fragile X mental retardation protein. [PDF]
Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein prominently expressed in neurons. Missense mutations or complete loss of FMRP can potentially lead to fragile X syndrome, a common form of inherited intellectual disability. In addition to RNA regulation, FMRP was also proposed to modulate neuronal function by direct interaction with

An “Omic” Overview of Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral and medical problems. It arises from the silencing of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene and, consequently, in the absence of its ...

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein and the Ribosome [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Chen et al. (2014) provide evidence that FMRP represses translation by binding the ribosome, suggesting a novel form of translational control.

Evidence that fragile X mental retardation protein is a negative regulator of translation.
Fragile X syndrome is a common form of inherited mental retardation. Most fragile X patients exhibit mutations in the fragile X mental retardation gene 1 (FMR1) that lead to transcriptional silencing and hence to the absence of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP).

On BC1 RNA and the fragile X mental retardation protein [PDF]
The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), the functional absence of which causes fragile X syndrome, is an RNA-binding protein that has been implicated in the regulation of local protein synthesis at the synapse. The mechanism of FMRP's interaction with its target mRNAs, however, has remained controversial. In one model, it has been

Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome: Structure of the KH1-KH2 Domains of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome is the most common form of inherited mental retardation in humans, with an estimated prevalence of about 1 in 4000 males. Although several observations indicate that the absence of functional Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is the underlying basis of Fragile X syndrome, the structure and function of FMRP are currently ...

Molecular Insights into Mental Retardation: Multiple Functions for the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein? [PDF]
Mental retardation is a frequent cause of intellectual and physical impairment. Several genes associated with mental retardation have been mapped to the X chromosome, among them, there is FMR1. The absence of or mutation in the Fragile Mental Retardation Protein, FMRP, is responsible for the Fragile X syndrome.
