Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in vitro mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation require the poly(A) binding protein, Pab1p, and two multiprotein complexes: CFI (cleavage factor I) and CPF (cleavage and polyadenylation factor). We characterized a novel essential gene, MPE1 (YKL059c), which interacts genetically with the PCF11 gene encoding a subunit of CFI. Mpe1p is an evolutionarily conserved protein, a homolog of which...
