Abstract

FMRP is an RNA-binding protein that negatively regulates translation and which is lost in fragile X syndrome. In this issue of . Neuron, . Deng et al. (2013) demonstrate a novel translation-independent function for FMRP as a regulator of presynaptic BK channels that modulate the dynamics of neurotransmitter release.
