"We show that FMRP associates with Kv4.2 mRNA, and that absence of FMRP decreases Kv4.2 mRNA translation and protein expression in vivo and in vitro , whereas FMRP overexpression increases protein levels of Kv4.2 3′UTR reporters."

sparser
"However, our data neither supports nor rules out a direct interaction of FMRP with Kv4.2 mRNA, and future studies will have to further analyze the modalities of FMRP association with and translational regulation of Kv4.2 mRNA."

sparser
"To analyze if Kv4.2 mRNA might be one of the “unconventional” target mRNAs of FMRP that show reduced translation and protein levels in the FXS mouse model ( xref ; xref ), we next examined whether Kv4.2 mRNA associates with FMRP in brain cortex."

sparser
"Using Kv4.2-specific quantitative real time PCR analyses of FMRP-coimmunprecipitates, we demonstrated that FMRP associates with Kv4.2 mRNA in mouse cortex ( xref )."

sparser
"FMRP can bind Kv4.2 mRNA and regulate its translation xref – xref ."

sparser
"In line with this assumption, analysis of Kv4.2-3′UTR association with several FMRP deletion constructs suggests that the association of FMRP with Kv4.2 mRNA does not seem to be mediated by a single mRNA binding domain, but rather requires multiple domains of FMRP ( xref )."

sparser
"Of note, this decrease in protein expression is due to direct FMRPKv4.2 mRNA binding, and mutation of S499 residue of FMRP reduces the amount of Kv4.2 mRNA bound to FMRP ( xref )."

sparser
"A previous study showed protein-protein interactions between FMRP and the potassium channel Slack( xref ), however we could not detect any association of FMRP with Kv4.2 protein (data not shown)."

sparser
"In hippocampal dendrites, FMRP is associated with Kv4.2 mRNA and prevents its translation leading to reduced channel expression at post-synaptic membrane ( xref )."
