The CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. CNOT7 and CNOT8, vertebrate homologs of the yeast CCR4-NOT catalytic subunit Caf1, exhibit distinct physiological functions and protein stability.
The CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex is a major post-transcriptional regulator of eukaryotic gene expression. CNOT7 and CNOT8 are both vertebrate homologs of the yeast CCR4-NOT catalytic subunit Caf1. They are highly similar and are sometimes considered redundant, but Cnot7 and Cnot8 knockout mice exhibit different phenotypes, implying distinct physiological functions. In this study, we reveal a non reciprocal effect of CNOT7 on CNOT8, in which CNOT8 protein is increased in the depletion of CNOT7 without corresponding changes in mRNA levels whereas CNOT7 is not affected by the loss of CNOT8. Cnot8 mRNA may be bound by the CCR4-NOT complex, suggesting that CCR4-NOT might directly regulate CNOT8 expression. Cnot8 mRNA is relatively unstable, but Cnot7 knockdown did not stabilize Cnot8 mRNA, nor did it increase translation. CNOT8 protein was also less stable than CNOT7. CNOT7 showed greater affinity than CNOT8 for the CCR4-NOT scaffold protein CNOT1 and was able to block CNOT8 from binding to CNOT1. Depletion of CNOT7 increased CNOT8 incorporation into the CCR4NOT complex and stabilized CNOT8. These data suggest that CNOT7 is the dominant paralog in CCR4-NOT and that CNOT7 and CNOT8 protein stability is regulated in distinct ways. (c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
