Flies became not trainees because Orb2 protein lost "tail"

Biologists showed that if at MRNK on which regulatory Orb2 protein is synthesized to cut off not coding fragment, fruit front sights will lose long-term memory and ability to training — without it mechanisms of formation of stable relations between neurons are broken. Results of the research supported by a grant RNF and published in the Cells magazine, will help with studying and development to therapy of autism, violations of memory and some types of a cancer which as scientists assume, can be connected with violations of functions of relatives of Orb2 in a brain of the person. Neurons, or...
