| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Post-transcriptional gene regulation is a key regulatory mechanism underlying mammalian cell differentiation and development. To elucidate physiological functions of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex, we analyzed the function of CNOT3 subunit of this complex using B cell development as a model system. We generated B-cell specific Cnot3-deficient mice and found that CNOT3 has an essential role for early B cell development. Furthermore, we identified a physiological target mRNA of this complex in early B cells.
