Accumulated common variants in the broader fragile X gene family modulate autistic phenotypes [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is mostly caused by a CGG triplet expansion in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1). Up to 60% of affected males fulfill criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), making FXS the most frequent monogenetic cause of ...

Absence of RNA‐binding protein FXR2P prevents prolonged phase of kainate‐induced seizures [PDF]
: Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition in which seizures are not self-terminating and thereby pose a serious threat to the patient's life. The molecular mechanisms underlying SE are likely heterogeneous and not well understood.

NF-Y, AP2, Nrf1 and Sp1 regulate the fragile X-related gene 2 (FXR2) [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome, the most common heritable form of mental retardation, is caused by silencing of the FMR1 (fragile X mental retardation-1 gene). The protein product of this gene, FMRP (fragile X mental retardation protein), is thought to be involved in the translational regulation of mRNAs important for learning and memory. In mammals, there are two

LLPS of FXR proteins drives replication organelle clustering for β-coronaviral proliferation. [PDF]
β-Coronaviruses remodel host endomembranes to form double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) as replication organelles (ROs) that provide a shielded microenvironment for viral RNA synthesis in infected cells. DMVs are clustered, but the molecular underpinnings 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.

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 ...

Mechanisms of dynein-based mRNA transport processes in human cells [PDF]
Protein function in cells is intricately regulated in both space and time through the positioning of mRNA molecules in the cytoplasm. This process is commonly mediated by molecular motors, which transport mRNAs along the cytoskeleton to specific cellular
