The circadian deadenylase Nocturnin is necessary for stabilization of the iNOS mRNA in mice.

Nocturnin is a member of the CCR4 deadenylase family, and its expression is under circadian control with peak levels at night. Because it can remove poly(A) tails from mRNAs, it is presumed to play a role in post-transcriptional control of circadian gene expression, but its target mRNAs are not know...
