Fragile X mental retardation protein shifts between polyribosomes and stress granules after neuronal injury by arsenite stress or in vivo hippocampal electrode insertion.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor activation regulates fragile x mental retardation protein and FMR1 mRNA localization differentially in dendrites and at synapses.
The aims of this population screening were to determine the prevalence of FRAXA and FRAXE syndromes among idiopathic mentally retarded (IMR) individuals, to estimate the incidence in the general population, and to investigate the molecular mechanism of instability and expansion of the FMR1-repeat.
