Broader concept

Entry terms

  • CstF Protein

Scope note

  • A RNA-binding protein that stimulates the cleavage of the 3' end of MRNA near the POLYADENYLATION site. It is a heterotrimer of 55-, 64- and 77-kDa subunits and combines with CLEAVAGE STIMULATION FACTOR to form a stable complex with mRNA that directs the 3' cleavage and polyadenylation reaction.

History note

  • 2003; for CLEAVAGE STIMULATION FACTOR use MRNA CLEAVAGE AND POLYADENYLATION FACTORS (NM) 1992-2002
