Abstract;Drosophila's homologous gene product(dFMR1) to causative gene product for fragile X syndrome with mental retardation symptom (FMR1) interacts specifically with RNAi factor, ribosomal proteins, and miRNA. As FMR1 is an RNA-binding protein, it has been considered to be involved in translation control. Thecontrol mechanism of translation is indicated to be involved with RNAi factor/miRNA.Authors judge that it is possibile RNAi/miRNA-related factors to be involved in intracelebral expression network of action from the results gained by genetic analyses.
