Abstract excerpt
Splicing and 3'-end processing (including cleavage and polyadenylation) of vertebrate pre-mRNAs are tightly coupled events that contribute to the extensive molecular network that coordinates gene expression. Sequences within the terminal intron of genes are essential to stimulate pre-mRNA 3'-end processing, although the factors mediating this effect are unknown. Here, we show that the pyrimidine tract of the last...
