Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) and the Spinal Sensory System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the role of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) in the spinal sensory system and the potential for use of the mouse model of fragile X syndrome to better understand some aspects of the human syndrome as well as advance knowledge in other areas of investigation, such as pain amplification, an ...

The molecular basis of the Fragile X syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Experimental and Molecular Biology, 2023
This analysis aimed to clarify the molecular basis of fragile X syndrome and explain the role of genetic material in the genetic disease's development and treatment. Fragile X syndrome is an X-linked mutation inheritance disorder.

A multi‐omics investigation of sarcopenia and frailty: Integrating genomic, epigenomic and telomere length data

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this

A Quantitative ELISA Assay for the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Protein [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, 2009
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

Fragile X-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (FXAND)

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by the full mutation (>200 CGG repeats) in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability (ID) and autism.

FMRP regulates STAT3 mRNA localization to cellular protrusions and local translation to promote hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Shen et al. propose a mechanism for the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells through the localization and translation modulation of the STAT3 oncogene by fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP).

Conformational-Dependent and Independent RNA Binding to the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein

open access: yesJournal of Nucleic Acids, 2011
The interaction between the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and BC1 RNA has been the subject of controversy. We probed the parameters of RNA binding to FMRP in several ways. Nondenaturing agarose gel analysis showed that BC1 RNA transcripts

G‐Quadruplexes: Structural Diversity and Emerging Roles in Biomolecular Condensation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
G‐quadruplexes (G4s) fold into diverse intra‐ and intermolecular structures, positioning them as emerging regulators of biomolecular condensation. Mechanistically, G4s autonomously form condensates, act as structural platforms to initiate and stimulate condensation, or induce phase transitions.

Regulation of Heart Rate in Drosophila via Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
RNA binding proteins play a pivotal role in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation, however little is understood about their role in cardiac function. The Fragile X (FraX) family of RNA binding proteins is most commonly studied in the context of
