GeneID: 24948 Rat FMR1

Swiss-port # Q80WE1 Rat Fragile X mental retardation protein 1 homolog

Gene Symbol FMR1
Gene Full Name fragile X mental retardation 1
Background Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in cognitive brain function. Mutations in the FMR1 gene, which codes for FMRP, can result in fragile X syndrome, autism, as well as other cognitive deficits (Brown et al.,1998, Goodlin-Jones et al., 2004). Phosphorylation of the highly conserved Ser499 has been shown to trigger hierarchical phosphorylation of nearby serines and may play a role in suppressing target mRNA translation (Ceman et al., 2003, Narayanan et al. 2008).
Research Area Gene Regulation antibody; Neuroscience antibody
Calculated MW 71 kDa
PTM Phosphorylated (PubMed:14532325). Phosphorylated on several serine residues. Phosphorylation at Ser-500 is required for phosphorylation of other nearby serine residues. Phosphorylation has no effect on the binding of individual mRNA species, but may affect the association with polyribosome. Unphosphorylated FMR1 is associated with actively translating polyribosome, whereas a fraction of phosphorylated FMR1 is associated with apparently stalled polyribosome. Dephosphorylation by an activated phosphatase may release the FMR1-mediated translational repression and allow synthesis of a locally required protein at snypases (By similarity).
Monoubiquitinated. Polyubiquitinated. Ubiquitinated and targeted for proteasomal degradation after activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR).
Methylated; methylation is necessary for heterodimerization with FXR1, association with polyribosomes, recruitment into stress granules and translation of FMR1 target mRNAs (PubMed:16636078). Methylated by PRMT1, PRMT3 and PRMT4, in vitro (PubMed:16922515).
Isoform 10: Undergoes proteolytic cleavage; may be specifically cleaved by calpain-1/CAPN1 in cajal bodies (PubMed:24204304).
