FXR1 associates with and degrades PDZK1IP1 and ATOH8 mRNAs and promotes esophageal cancer progression [PDF]
Background The growing body of evidence suggests that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have an important function in cancer biology. This research characterizes the expression status of fragile X-related protein 1 (FXR1) in esophageal cancer (ESCA) cell lines

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals FXR1 as an actionable target for siRNA therapy in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women and remains exceptionally difficult to manage and treat effectively in the clinic. Fragile X-related protein 1 (FXR1) is highly amplified and overexpressed in ovarian and

OTUD6B-mediated K48 deubiquitination of FXR1 forms a positive feedback loop activating MEK2/ERK signaling in colorectal cancer liver metastasis [PDF]
Liver metastasis remains a major cause of mortality in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we identify OTUD6B, a deubiquitinating enzyme of the OTU family, as a key driver of CRC liver metastasis.

Estrogen-induced FXR1 promotes endocrine resistance and bone metastasis in breast cancer via BCL2 and GPX4 [PDF]
Estrogen signaling dysregulation plays a critical role in the development of anti-estrogen resistance and bone metastasis of ER+ mammary carcinoma. Using quantitative proteomic screening, we identified FXR1 as an estrogen-regulated RNA-binding protein ...

Key residues in SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 hypervariable region are necessary to modulate early stress granule activity [PDF]
Antagonism of the host responses that limits viral replication is critical to the success of infection. Recently, we identified that the hypervariable region (HVR) of SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 binds to FXR1 and disrupts stress granule formation during the early ...

Modular RNA interactions shape FXR1 condensates involved in mRNA localization and translation [PDF]
Biomolecular condensates are found throughout a diversity of eukaryotic cell types and cellular compartments, playing roles in various cellular functions. A given protein generally forms functionally and compositionally heterogeneous condensates, but the

Comparing loss of individual fragile X proteins suggests strong links to cellular senescence and aging [PDF]
Members of the fragile X protein (FXP) family (FMR1, FXR1 and FXR2) are differentially expressed in most types of cancer and major neurodegenerative diseases.
