Abstract

Fragile X syndrome is one of the most common human genetic diseases and the most common cause of hereditary mental retardation. The gene that causes fragile X syndrome, FMR1, was recently identified and sequenced and found to encode a putative protein of unknown function. Here we report that FMR1 contains two types of sequence motifs recently found in RNA-binding proteins: an RGG box and two heterogeneous nuclear RNP K homology domains. We also demonstrate that FMR1 binds RNA in vitro. Using antibodies to FMR1, we detect its expression in divergent organisms and in cells of unaffected humans, but fragile X-affected patients express little or no FMR1. These findings demonstrate that FMR1 expression is directly correlated with the fragile X syndrome and suggest that anti-FMR1 antibodies will be important for diagnosis of fragile X syndrome. Furthermore, the RNA binding activity of FMR1 opens the way to understanding the function of FMR1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
