Using structures of mRNP of different cell localization isolated from plants infected by minus-genomecurly potato dwarfness virus (CPDV), it was established that synthesis of virus proteins in vitro is mainly realized on membrane-related and free polysomal mRNP capable to direct synthesis of proteins programmed in RNA in cell-free protein-synthesizing systems. The obtained results prove that synthesis of virus proteins is actively realized on membrane-related nonpolysomal mRNP - 23520 imp/min. An analogous distribution of matrix activity is observed also in the case when mRNA isolated from mRNP of different cell localization was introduced in protein-synthesizing system. The least matrix activity was observed in cytoplasmic nonpolysomal mRNPs which are low-active in the translation system in vitro - only 1890 imp/min. The function of free cytoplasmic nonpolysomal mRNP is apparently mainly reduced to the transport and reserve of genetic information in a cell.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic condition caused by the inheritance of alleles with >200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 () gene. These full mutation (FM) alleles are associated with DNA methylation and gene silencing, which result in intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and social and behavioral issues. Mosaicism for both the size of the CGG repeat tract and the extent of its methylation is commonly observed in individuals with the FM.

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) presents with a constellation of phenotypes, including trouble regulating emotion and aggressive behaviors, disordered sleep, intellectual impairments, and atypical physical development. Genetic study of the X chromosome revealed that substantial repeat expansion of the 5' end of the gene fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 () promoted DNA methylation and, consequently, silenced expression of . Further analysis proved that shorter repeat expansions in also manifested in disease at later stages in life.

The process of mRNA localization in the cytoplasm involves the directed transport of mRNP particles using the microtubule system. This transport is mediated and regulated by specific factors-adaptors between mRNA molecules and microtubule motor proteins. Adaptors are a key link in the mechanism of mRNA transport, but to date their identity and functioning are mostly unknown.

Fragile X Syndrome (FX) is the most common form of inherited cognitive impairment and falls under the broader category of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). FX is caused by a CGG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the non-coding region of the X-linked () gene, leading to its hypermethylation and epigenetic silencing. Animal models of FX rely on the deletion of the gene, which fails to replicate the epigenetic silencing mechanism of the gene observed in human patients.

Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are biomolecular condensates requiring RNA and proteins to assemble. Stress granules are RNP granules formed upon increases in non-translating messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) during stress. G3BP1 and G3BP2 proteins are proposed to assemble stress granules through multivalent crosslinking of RNPs.
