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.

Protein Translation in the Nucleus Accumbens Is Dysregulated during Cocaine Withdrawal and Required for Expression of Incubation of Cocaine Craving.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that translation is dysregulated during cocaine withdrawal and this contributes to incubated craving is tested, and it is demonstrated that the expression of incubation depends on an acute increase in translation that may result from dysregulation of several pathways.

Interference of the complex between NCS-1 and Ric8a with phenothiazines regulates synaptic function and is an approach for fragile X syndrome.

TL;DR: A small molecule, the phenothiazine FD44, is identified that binds the interaction surface between NCS-1 and Ric8a, preventing the formation of the complex, and it restores normal synapse number and associative learning in a Drosophila FXS model.

Spatially and temporally regulating translation via mRNA-binding proteins in cellular and neuronal function.

TL;DR: The robust and complex roles that mRNA‐binding proteins play in the regulation of local translation that impact cellular function in vertebrates are discussed and the expanding role for local protein synthesis in neuronal development and function is discussed.

Genome wide assessment of mRNA in astrocyte protrusions by direct RNA sequencing reveals mRNA localization for the intermediate filament protein nestin

TL;DR: The correlated localization of Nestin mRNA with Nestin protein in cell protrusions indicates the presence of a regulatory mechanism at the mRNA localization level for the Nestin intermediate filament protein with potential importance for astrocyte functions during brain development and maintenance.

A normal genetic variation modulates synaptic MMP-9 protein levels and the severity of schizophrenia symptoms

TL;DR: A novel mechanism that involves M MP‐9‐dependent changes in dendritic spine morphology and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia is proposed, providing the first mechanistic insights into the way in which the single base change in the MMP‐9 gene (rs20544) influences gene function and results in phenotypic changes observed in schizophrenia patients.

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.
