Fragile X protein controls the efficacy of mRNA transport in Drosophila neurons.

Molecular and cellular neurosciences - 1 Oct 2008

Estes Patricia S, O'Shea Michele, Clasen Sara, Zarnescu Daniela C

Abstract excerpt

Fragile X syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation is caused by mutations in the FMR1 gene. FMR1 encodes an RNA-binding protein thought to control the transport and translation of target mRNAs. While the function of FMRP in translational control has been clearly demonstrated...
