Table 1 . General factors involved in mRNA deadenylation.

Factor Function References
Ccr4/Pop2/Not complex Major mRNA deadenylaseCcr4 critical catalytic subunit, ExoIII family memberPop2: second catalytic subunit, RNaseD family memberNot1: large scaffolding proteinNot2–5, Caf130, Caf40: accessory proteins of unknown function Daugeron et al. (2001); Tucker et al. (2001, 2002); Chen et al. (2002)
Pan2/Pan3 complex Additional mRNA deadenylasePrimarily functions in initial trimming of poly(A) tailPan2: catalytic subunit; RNaseD family memberInteracts with and stimulated by Pab1Pan3: regulatory subunit Brown et al. (1996); Boeck et al. (1996); Brown and Sachs (1998)
Tpa1 Prolyl 4-hydroxylaseBinds poly(A)Interacts with eRF1 and eRF3Required for normal deadenylation and translation termination Keeling et al. (2006); Henri et al. (2010); Kim et al. (2010)
Pab1 Major poly(A)-binding proteinInhibits Ccr4 deadenylaseStimulates Pan2/Pan3 complexMay interact with eRF3 to affect deadenylationCouples deadenylation to decapping Caponigro and Parker (1995); Boeck et al. (1996); Cosson et al. (2002); Tucker et al. (2002); Hosada et al. (2003)
eRF3 (Sup35) Subunit of translation termination complex Hosada et al. (2003); Funakoshi et al. (2007)
Interacts with Pab1 and thereby may influence deadenylation rates
Rpb4/Rpb7 Two subunits of RNA polymerase II Lotan et al. (2005, 2007)
Required for normal rates of deadenylation
May exit from nucleus as part of mRNP to affect cytoplasmic deadenylation
