FMRP stalls ribosomal translocation on mRNAs linked to synaptic function and autism

TLDR
A brain polyribosome-programmed translation system is developed, revealing that FMRP reversibly stalls ribosomes specifically on its target mRNAs and suggests multiple targets for clinical intervention in FXS and ASD.

Selective inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3α corrects pathophysiology in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome

TL;DR: It is shown that inhibition of GSK3α, but not G SK3β, corrected aberrant protein synthesis, audiogenic seizures, and sensory cortex hyperexcitability in Fmr1−/y mice, and GSK2α selective inhibitors may have potential as a therapeutic approach for treating fragile X syndrome.

Defects in translational regulation contributing to human cognitive and behavioral disease.

TL;DR: New approaches to the unbiased in vivo identification of maps of binding sites for these proteins on mRNA is expected to greatly increase understanding of this crucial level of regulation in neuronal development and function.

Tunable protein synthesis by transcript isoforms in human cells

TL;DR: The results expose the large dynamic range of transcript-isoform- specific translational control, identify isoform-specific sequences that control protein output in human cells, and demonstrate that transcript isoform diversity must be considered when relating RNA and protein levels.

Nuclear Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Is localized to Cajal Bodies

TL;DR: It is shown here that the most commonly expressed human FMRP isoforms (ISO1 and 7) do not localize to the nucleus, and a missense mutation (I304N), known to alter the KH2-mediated RNA binding properties of FMRp, abolishes the localization of human F MRP ISO6 to Cajal bodies.

Multiple Behavior Phenotypes of the Fragile-X Syndrome Mouse Model Respond to Chronic Inhibition of Phosphodiesterase-4D (PDE4D).

TL;DR: Daily treatment of adult male fmr1 C57Bl6 knock-out mice with BPN14770 for 14 days reduced hyperarousal, improved social interaction, and improved natural behaviors such as nesting and marble burying as well as dendritic spine morphology, indicating that the drug may be useful for the treatment of fragile-X syndrome and other disorders with decreased cAMP signaling.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID bioinformatics resources.

TL;DR: By following this protocol, investigators are able to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological themes in lists of genes that are enriched in genome-scale studies.

Biometery: The principles and practice of statistics in biological research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the analysis of variance in a single-classification and two-way and multiway analysis of Variance with the assumption of correlation.

Linear Models and Empirical Bayes Methods for Assessing Differential Expression in Microarray Experiments

TL;DR: The hierarchical model of Lonnstedt and Speed (2002) is developed into a practical approach for general microarray experiments with arbitrary numbers of treatments and RNA samples and the moderated t-statistic is shown to follow a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom.
