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.

High-Throughput Screening to Identify Compounds That Increase Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Expression in Neural Stem Cells Differentiated From Fragile X Syndrome Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: The data provide proof of principle that this assay combined with FXS patient‐derived neural stem cells can be used in a high‐throughput format to identify better lead compounds for FXS drug development.

GABA-B Agonist Baclofen Normalizes Auditory-Evoked Neural Oscillations and Behavioral Deficits in the Fmr1 Knockout Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome.

TL;DR: It is suggested that racemic baclofen may be useful for targeting sensory and cognitive disturbances in fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition resulting from FMR1 gene mutation that leads to intellectual disability, autism-like symptoms, and sensory hypersensitivity.

Rapid Molecular Profiling of Defined Cell Types Using Viral TRAP

TL;DR: A versatile strategy for profiling CNS cell types in a spatiotemporally restricted fashion by engineering a Cre-dependent adeno-associated virus expressing an EGFP- tagged ribosomal protein to access translating mRNAs by translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP).

BDNF Stimulation of Protein Synthesis in Cortical Neurons Requires the MAP Kinase-Interacting Kinase MNK1

TL;DR: Using a combination of pharmacological and genetic approaches, it is shown that BDNF-induced upregulation of protein synthesis requires MEK/ERK signaling and the downstream kinase, MNK1, which phosphorylates eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E.

Fmr1 deficiency promotes age-dependent alterations in the cortical synaptic proteome.

TL;DR: This study used quantitative mass spectrometry to systematically compare protein expression in neocortical synaptic fractions between Fmr1 (fragile X mental retardation 1) knockout (KO) and wild-type mice during adolescence and adulthood and discovered an upregulation of a large number of synaptic proteins in young KO mice but not in adult ones.

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.

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.
