Hypothesis 1: Repression of translation via FMRP is mediated through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. FMRP associates with Argonaute 2 and Dicer, components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), and to specific miRNAs. The KH domains of teh FMRP protein help the miRNA associate on their target mRNA, thus miRNA-RISC comple
