RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical effectors of gene expression, and as such their
malfunction underlies the origin of many diseases. RBPs can recognize hundreds of …

Cellular RNAs are naturally decorated with a variety of chemical modifications. The
structural diversity of the modified nucleosides provides regulatory potential to sort groups of …

Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is the product of the fragile X mental retardation
1 gene (FMR1), a gene that—when epigenetically inactivated by a triplet nucleotide repeat …

RNA modifications are integral to the regulation of RNA metabolism. One abundant mRNA
modification is N 6-methyladenosine (m6A), which affects various aspects of RNA …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and related neurological disorders are associated with
mutations in many genes affecting the ratio between neuronal excitation and inhibition …

Post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR) concerns processes involved in the maturation,
transport, stability and translation of coding and non-coding RNAs. RNA-binding proteins …

The genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorder involves the interplay of common and
rare variants and their impact on hundreds of genes. Using exome sequencing, here we …

Summary N 6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) and N 6, 2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m 6 Am) are
abundant mRNA modifications that regulate transcript processing and translation. The role …

Although microRNAs (miRNAs), other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)(eg lncRNAs,
pseudogenes and circRNAs) and competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have been …

Neurons localize mRNAs near synapses where their translation can be regulated by
synaptic demand and activity. Differences in the 3′ UTRs of mRNAs can change their …
