Ccr4-Not complex reduces transcription efficiency in heterochromatin. [PDF]
Abstract Heterochromatic silencing is thought to occur through a combination of transcriptional silencing and RNA degradation, but the relative contribution of each pathway is not known. In this study, we analyzed RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) occupancy and levels of nascent and steady-state RNA in different mutants of ...

The CCR4-NOT complex is a tumor suppressor in Drosophila melanogaster eye cancer models [PDF]
Background The CNOT3 protein is a subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex, which is involved in mRNA degradation. We recently identified CNOT3 loss-of-function mutations in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Methods Here, we use different

Translation efficiency driven by CNOT3 subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex promotes leukemogenesis [PDF]
Protein synthesis is frequently deregulated during tumorigenesis. However, the precise contexts of selective translational control and the regulators of such mechanisms in cancer is poorly understood.

Translational Capacity of a Cell Is Determined during Transcription Elongation via the Ccr4-Not Complex [PDF]
The current understanding of gene expression considers transcription and translation to be independent processes. Challenging this notion, we found that translation efficiency is determined during transcription elongation through the imprinting of mRNAs ...

The CCR4-NOT complex is implicated in the viability of aneuploid yeasts.
To identify the genes required to sustain aneuploid viability, we screened a deletion library of non-essential genes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in which most types of aneuploidy are eventually lethal to the cell.

The CCR4-NOT complex maintains liver homeostasis through mRNA deadenylation. [PDF]
The biological significance of deadenylation in global gene expression is not fully understood. Here, we show that the CCR4–NOT deadenylase complex maintains expression of mRNAs, such as those encoding transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, DNA damage response–related proteins, and metabolic enzymes, at appropriate levels in the liver.

The CCR4-NOT complex suppresses untimely translational activation of maternal mRNAs.
ABSTRACT Control of mRNA poly(A) tails is essential for regulation of mRNA metabolism, specifically translation efficiency and mRNA stability. Gene expression in maturing oocytes relies largely on post-transcriptional regulation, as genes are transcriptionally silent during oocyte maturation.

The Ccr4-Not complex monitors the translating ribosome for codon optimality. [PDF]
Coupling translation and mRNA decay Gene expression requires messenger RNAs (mRNAs)—DNA-derived blueprints of genes—to be translated by protein-producing ribosomes. The levels of mRNAs are tightly regulated, in part by controlling their half-lives.

Human Ccr4–Not complexes contain variable deadenylase subunits [PDF]
The Ccr4–Not complex is evolutionarily conserved and important for regulation of mRNA synthesis and decay. The composition of the yeast complex has been well described. Orthologues of the yeast Ccr4–Not components have been identified in human cells including multiple subunits with mRNA deadenylase activity.

The CCR4-NOT complex physically and functionally interacts with TRAMP and the nuclear exosome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Ccr4-Not is a highly conserved multi-protein complex consisting in yeast of 9 subunits, including Not5 and the major yeast deadenylase Ccr4.
