In the zebrafish segmentation clock, hairy/enhancer of split ‐related genes her1 , her7 , and hes6 encodes components of core oscillators. Since the expression of cyclic genes proceeds rapidly in the presomitic mesoderm ( PSM ), these hairy ‐related mRNA s are subject to strict post‐transcriptional regulation. In this study, we demonstrate that inhibition of the CCR 4‐ NOT deadenylase complex lengthens poly(A) tails of hairy ‐related mRNA s and increases the amount of these mRNA s, which is accompanied by defective somite segmentation. In transgenic embryos, we show that EGFP mRNA s with 3′ UTR s of hairy ‐related genes exhibit turnover similar to endogenous mRNA s. Our results suggest that turnover rates of her1, her7, and hes6 mRNA s are differently regulated by the CCR 4‐ NOT deadenylase complex possibly through their 3′ UTR s in the zebrafish PSM.
