Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (FMRP) is encoded by the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene, located in the X chromossome, associated with the fragile X syndrome, Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) and Premature Ovarian Failure (POF1). The FMRP binds to RNAs and its own FMR1 transcripts, possibly a self-regulatory mechanism. A motif that is going to be explored is the RGG motif, that the protein uses to bind to guanine G-quadruplexes a structure that consists of nucleic acid folding in which four guanines arrange in a planar conformation stabilized by Hoogsteen-trype hydrogen bonds, named tetrad. | Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (FMRP) is encoded by the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene, located in the X chromossome, associated with the fragile X syndrome, Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) and Premature Ovarian Failure (POF1).
