摘要

The changing nature of synaptic function in neuronal dendrites during development is one of a myriad of phenomenological observations that have fascinated neuro-biologists for some time. In the case of fragile X syndrome (FXS), neurons exhibit long, spindly dendritic spines that appear to be morphologically immature (1). As with all dendritic spines, these FXR spines typically house elements of the postsynaptic density juxtaposed with components of the translation apparatus (2). A dominant mutation in the FMR1 gene gives rise to FXS through the elimination of FMR1 RNA. This gene encodes the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which is a RNA-bind-ing protein. By using in vitro assays, FMRP has been proposed to be involved in modulating translation through its binding to cellular RNAs and ribo-somes (3). In early studies, Weiler et al. (4) showed that the FMR1 RNA was localized in dendrites and that its translation could be modulated by group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (Gp1 mGluR) agonists. Subsequent studies have extended, and begun to clarify, the potential aftereffects of such events and their impact on normal cellular functioning, as well as FXS.
