To establish whether CCR4‐NOT complex components are altered in their abundance during HCMV infection, we monitored expression of nucleases CNOT6, 6L, 7, and 8 and nonenzymatic modules CNOT1, 2 3, by immunoblot where reliable antibodies could be sourced and RT‐qPCR where not (Fig 4A and B). Here, CNOT6 is linked to cytomegalovirus infection.
