Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation, is caused by the loss of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is a ubiquitously expressed, multi-domain RNA-binding protein, but its in vivo function remains poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that FMRP participates in cell cycle control during development. Here, we used Drosophila mutants to test if FMRP plays a...
