FXR2 is a RNA binding protein containing two KH domains and one RCG box, which is similar to FMRP and FXR1. It associates with polyribosomes, predominantly with 60S large ribosomal subunits. It may self-associate or interact with FMRP and FXR1. Fragile X syndrome is caused by the absence of the fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is the archetype of a class of cytoplasmic mRNA-binding proteins that includes the fragile X-related 1 and 2 proteins (FXR1 and FXR2). The fragile X-related proteins FXR1 and FXR2 contain a functional nucleolar-targeting signal equivalent to the HIV-1 regulatory proteins.
