mRNA coordinators Rpb4/7 are implicated in imprinting mRNAs in the nucleus to convey transcription rate to the cytoplasm. Rpb4/7 have been shown to interact with the nascent mRNA chain in the nucleus and Pat1 and members of the Lsm1–7 complex in the cytoplasm. RNA decay factors Ccr4-Not and Xrn1 degrade mRNA in the cytoplasm and may affect Pol II elongation by either coordinating with (Ccr4-Not) or antagonizing (Xrn1) the Pol II co-factor TFIIS, which is responsible for disengaging stalled Pol II.
