A nuclear role for the Fragile X mental retardation protein. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome results from lack of expression of a functional form of Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein of uncertain function. Here, we report that FMRP contains a nuclear export signal (NES) that is similar to the NES recently identified in the Rev regulatory protein of human immunodeficiency virus ...

FMRP(1–297)-tat restores ion channel and synaptic function in a model of Fragile X syndrome
Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein regulates synaptic plasticity and its loss results in Fragile X Syndrome. Here, the authors show that the FMRP(1-297)-tat peptide can permeate the BBB, restore protein translation and mossy fiber LTP, and reduce ...

The Drosophila FMRP and LARK RNA-binding proteins function together to regulate eye development and circadian behavior [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of hereditary mental retardation. FXS patients have a deficit for the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) that results in abnormal neuronal dendritic spine morphology and behavioral phenotypes ...

The Drosophila fragile X mental retardation protein participates in the piRNA pathway [PDF]
ABSTRACT RNA metabolism controls multiple biological processes, and a specific class of small RNAs, called piRNAs, act as genome guardians by silencing the expression of transposons and repetitive sequences in the gonads. Defects in the piRNA pathway affect genome integrity and fertility.

FMRP activity and control of Csw/SHP2 translation regulate MAPK-dependent synaptic transmission
Noonan syndrome (NS) and NS with multiple lentigines (NSML) cognitive dysfunction are linked to SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) gain-of-function (GoF) and loss-of-function (LoF), respectively.

Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Ras signaling mechanisms underlying impaired GluR1-dependent plasticity associated with fragile X syndrome [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome, caused by the loss of FMR1 gene function and loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), is the most commonly inherited form of mental retardation.
