The Ccr4–Not complex is involved in several aspects of gene expression, including mRNA decay, translational repression and transcription. Structural, biochemical and functional analyses of the Not module, comprising the C-terminal regions of Not1, Not2 and Not5, suggest that it forms a platform for protein and nucleic acid interactions that are important for Ccr4–Not's many functions.
