The CCR4–NOT deadenylase complex safeguards thymic positive selection by down-regulating aberrant pro-apoptotic gene expression
The CCR4-NOT complex catalyzes mRNA deadenylation and hence regulates protein translation. Here the authors show that CNOT3 regulation of this complex is needed for positive selection of thymocytes via a mechanism involving inhibition of pro-apoptotic gene expression.
