ESCRT-III Membrane Trafficking Misregulation Contributes To Fragile X Syndrome Synaptic Defects
Abstract The leading cause of heritable intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Fragile X syndrome (FXS), is caused by loss of the mRNA-binding translational suppressor Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP). In the Drosophila FXS disease model, we found FMRP binds shr...
