Short Name | Not1 |
description | Not1 is the core component of the CCR4/NOT complex, which plays roles in the negative regulation of gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. This entry includes Not1 (also known as Cdc39) and its homologues, such as LET-711 from Caenorhabditis elegans []. De novo variants in CNOT1 have been shown to cause neurodevelopmental delay []. The Ccr4-Not complex is a global regulator of gene expression that is conserved from yeast to human. It affects genes positively and negatively and is thought to regulate transcription factor IID function. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it exists in two prominent forms and consists of at least nine core subunits: the five Not proteins (Not1 to Not5), Caf1, Caf40, Caf130 and Ccr4 []. The Ccr4-Not complex regulates many different cellular functions, including RNA degradation and transcription initiation. It may be a regulatory platform that senses nutrient levels and stress []. Caf1 and Ccr4, are directly involved in mRNA deadenylation, and Caf1p is associated with Dhh1, a putative RNA helicase thought to be a component of the decapping complex []. Pop2, a component of the Ccr4-Not complex, functions as a deadenylase []. |
