Drosophila FMR1 is a RNA-binding protein that associates with translating ribosomes and acts as a negative translational regulator of specific mRNAs. Represses translation of futsch to regulate microtubule-dependent synaptic growth and function. Part of the RNA interference (RNAi)-related apparatus; double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. Regulates photoreceptor structure and neurotransmission in the eye. Required for stability of the central pair of microtubules in the spermatid axoneme

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation. It is caused by loss of FMR1 gene activity due to either lack of expression or expression of a mutant form of the protein. In mammals, FMR1 is a member of a small protein family that consists of FMR1, FXR1, and FXR2. All three members bind RNA and contain sequence motifs that are commonly found in RNA-binding proteins, including two KH domains and an RGG box.The Drosophila genome contains a single gene homologous to the FXR family. dFMR1 is subjected to transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation during development and it homomerizes, like its human counterpart. dFMR1 profile of expression recapitulates that of the human FXR protein family: it is highly enriched in muscles, in central nervous system and in gonads. In the larval brain, anti-dFMR1 also recognizes mushroom bodies, a centre that mediates learning and memory. These features make the fly an ideal system to analyse the role of the FXR family and to identify genes in the FMRP pathway.

Immunoprecipitation - Drosophila FMR1 antibody [6A15] (ab10299)

ab10299 used to Western blot specific immunoprecipitates. In this experiment tissue lysate from Drosophila cellularizing embryos were immunoprecipitated with either ab10299 or and anti-FLAG antibody (at 25ug/mg lysate). Supernatant and pellet from these immunoprecipitates were then Western blotted with ab10299. The image clearly shows that ab10299 brings down dFMRP in the immunoprecipitation pellet whilst the anti-FLAG monoclonal does not.
