Poly(A) tail shortening is a critical step in messenger RNA (mRNA) decay and control of gene expression. The carbon catabolite repressor 4 (CCR4)-associated factor 1 (CAF1) component of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex plays an essential role in mRNA deadenylation in most eukaryotes. However, while CAF1 has been extensively investigated in yeast and animals, its role in plants remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the Citrus sinensis CAF1 (CsCAF1) is a magnesium-dependent deadenylase impli ...[more]
