Abstract
The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein involved in the mRNA metabolism. The absence of FMRP in neurons leads to alterations of the synaptic plasticity, probably as a result of translation regulation defects. The exact molecular mechanisms by which FMRP plays a role in translation regulation have remained elusive. The finding of an interaction between FMRP and the RNA interference silencing complex (RISC), a master of translation regulation, has suggested that both regulators could be functionally linked. We investigated here this link, and we show that FMRP exhibits little overlap both physically and functionally with the RISC machinery, excluding a direct impact of FMRP on RISC function. Our data indicate that FMRP and RISC are associated to distinct pools of mRNAs. FMRP, unlike RISC machinery, associates with the pool of mRNAs that eventually goes into stress granules upon cellular stress. Furthermore, we show that FMRP plays a positive role in this process as the lack of FMRP or a point mutant causing a severe fragile X alter stress granule formation. Our data support the proposal that FMRP plays a role in controlling the fate of mRNAs after translation arrest.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
