Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is elucidation of the mutual translational control mechanism between FMR1, the causative gene of fragile X syndrome, and CPEB1 which acts as a translational repressor. We showed that CPEB co-localized with Fmr1 mRNA in the rat hippocampal neurons and interacted via CPE in the 3 'UTR. Furthermore, knockdown of CPEB1 increased the expression levels of FMR1 and the mitochondria-related genes.
