Comparative Behavioral Phenotypes of Fmr1 KO, Fxr2 Het, and Fmr1 KO/Fxr2 Het Mice [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by silencing of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of the protein product fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FXS is the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability. There are two known mammalian paralogs

Comprehensive Profiling of N6‐methyladnosine (m6A) Readouts Reveals Novel m6A Readers That Regulate Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation [PDF]
N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification constitutes a crucial layer of post‐transcriptional regulations, but the landscape of its downstream readout effects remains less comprehensively understood. Therefore, we systematically assess the readout effects of

Clinical Significance of Fragile X Syndrome 2 (FXR2) in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Background: The fragile X protein family comprises three members: the fragile X syndrome protein (FMRP) and its structural homologs, fragile X syndrome 1 and 2 (FXR1 and FXR2). FMRP has a significant role in controlling the genesis and progression of various forms of human cancer.

Genes and pathways differentially expressed in the brains of Fxr2 knockout mice
Fragile X syndrome is a common inherited form of mental retardation and originates from the absence of expression of the FMR1 gene. This gene and its two homologues, FXR1 and FXR2, encode for a family of fragile X related (FXR) proteins with similar ...

Expression of FMR1, FXR1, and FXR2 Genes in Human Prenatal Tissues [PDF]
We analyzed the distribution of FMR1, FXR1, FXR2 mRNA, and FMRP in whole normal human embryos and in the brains of normal and fragile X fetuses. The distributions of mRNA for the 3 genes in normal whole embryos and in the brains of normal male and female carrier fetuses were similar, with large amounts of mRNA in the nervous system and in several non ...

m6A-modified circFNDC3B inhibits colorectal cancer stemness and metastasis via RNF41-dependent ASB6 degradation [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer with unfavorable clinical outcomes worldwide. circFNDC3B plays as a tumor suppressor in CRC, however, the mechanism of circFNDC3B in CRC remains ambiguous.

Knockout mouse model for Fxr2: a model for mental retardation [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome is a common form of mental retardation caused by the absence of the FMR1 protein, FMRP. Fmr1 knockout mice exhibit a phenotype with some similarities to humans, such as macro-orchidism and behavioral abnormalities. Two homologs of FMRP have been identified, FXR1P and FXR2P.

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.
