CCR4-NOT mRNA deadenylase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Major cellular mRNA deadenylase complex, removing polyA tails that protect transcripts from degradation and promotes translation in the cytoplasm. The complex is linked to various cellular processes including bulk mRNA degradation, miRNA-mediated repression, translational repression during translational initiation, and general transcription regulation, potentially by promoting the resumption of elongation of arrested RNAPII when it encounters transcriptional blocks in vivo.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

hydrolase activity, nuclease activity, RNA catabolic process, catabolic process, nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process
