The Role of FXR1 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cytoskeletal Dynamics
Appropriate cytoskeletal organization and protein-protein interactions are essential for vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) physiological processes relevant to hypertensive conditions. Proteins that link actin dynamics and post-transcriptional mRNA metabolism potentially have a high impact on VSMC pathophysiological processes.

Fbxo4-mediated degradation of Fxr1 suppresses tumorigenesis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Fbxo4 tumour suppressor is part of a SCF E3 ligase which has two known substrates. Here, the authors identify Fxr1 as a substrate of SCFFbxo4 and identify an inherent regulatory feedback loop in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that results in the ...

The KIF6-RBP Complex Orchestrates mRNA Transport Required for Sperm Flagellar Assembly. [PDF]
Two homozygous deleterious KIF6 variants are identified in unrelated men with impaired sperm motility. Mouse models and multi‐omics analyses reveal that KIF6 cooperates with the RNA‐binding proteins FMRP and FXR1 to deliver mRNAs essential for sperm flagellar assembly, linking disrupted mRNA transport to reduced abundance of key structural and ...

FXR1-Directed Alternative Splicing of MK5 Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Activating GSK3β Signaling. [PDF]
The RNA‐binding protein FXR1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by driving alternative splicing of MK5 to generate an oncogenic isoform, MK5‐L, which activates the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway. Targeting FXR1 with an antisense oligonucleotide suppresses tumor growth in vivo, revealing a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC.
