Structural highlights
Function
CAF1_SCHPO Acts as the catalytic component of the CCR4-NOT core complex, which in the nucleus seems to be a general transcription factor, and in the cytoplasm the major mRNA deadenylase involved in mRNA turnover. In vivo and in vitro, caf1 has 3'-exoribonuclease activity with a preference for poly(A) RNAs.[1] [2]
