NCBI Protein Information
cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 100
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein similar to the 100kD subunit of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF), the factor responsible for the recognition of the AAUAAA motif during mRNA polyadenylation. The protein interacts with a portion of a nuclear poly(A) polymerase. It is likely to be a part of the mRNA 3'end formation apparatus.

UniProt Comments
CPSF plays a key role in pre-mRNA 3'-end formation, recognizing the AAUAAA signal sequence and interacting with poly(A)polymerase and other factors to bring about cleavage and poly(A) addition . Required for antisense-RNA-mediated gene silencing (PubMed:17008405).
