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

Autism genetics: searching for specificity and convergence. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Advances in genetics and genomics have improved our understanding of autism spectrum disorders. As many genes have been implicated, we look to points of convergence among these genes across biological systems to better understand and treat these ...

Targeting Expanded CUG and CTG Repeats as a Therapeutic Approach for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
DM1 is an RNA gain‐of‐function disease caused by CTG repeat expansion, producing toxic r(CUG)exp RNA that sequesters MBNL1 and impairs splicing. This review covers the field of CUG and CTG ligands identified or rationally designed as DM1 drug candidates, highlighting their molecular design, RNA‐ or DNA‐binding modes, in vitro affinities and ...

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

Autism as a disorder of neural information processing: directions for research and targets for therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The broad variation in phenotypes and severities within autism spectrum disorders suggests the involvement of multiple predisposing factors, interacting in complex ways with normal developmental courses and gradients. Identification of these factors, and

Ionic–Bionic Interfaces: Advancing Iontronic Strategies for Bioelectronic Sensing and Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Ionic–bionic interfaces for bioelectronics leverage ions as multifunctional mediators that combine mechanical compliance, ionic and electronic functionalities, and therapeutic effects. These systems offer real‐time biosignal transduction, effective wound dressing, responsive drug delivery, and seamless interaction between soft tissues and electronic ...

FMRP regulates an ethanol-dependent shift in GABABR function and expression with rapid antidepressant properties

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Alcohol is thought to lead to neuroadaptive changes, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors find ethanol treatment alters GABAB-receptor expression via fragile-X mental retardation protein in mice, leading to ...

Modeling Fragile X Syndrome in Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
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 ...

A nuclear role for the Fragile X mental retardation protein. [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 1996
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 ...

Molecular Responses to Climate Change: How Warming and Acidification Reshape the Proteome and Phosphoproteome of the Endangered Mira Chub

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global environmental change affects organisms, including their physiology. In freshwater ecosystems, where migration is limited, populations often rely on phenotypic plasticity to respond. While transcriptomics has been widely used to study stress responses at the molecular level, less is known about the proteome, which reflects post ...
