Rabbit Anti-CPSF2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
CPSF contains four subunits and localizes to the nucleoplasm where it recognizes the AAUAAA signal in pre-mRNA and interacts with other proteins to facilitate RNA cleavage and poly(A) synthesis (1,4,5). The human CPSF2 gene maps to chromosome 14q32.12 and encodes the second largest subunit of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor. U1 snRNP-A protein (U1A) interacts with and affects the activity of CPSF by stabilizing the interaction of CPSF with the AAUAAA-containing RNAs to increase the efficiency of polyadenylation .
Function:
CPSF2 belongs to the RNA-metabolizing metallo-beta-lactamase-like family, CPSF2/YSH1 subfamily. It is a component of the cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF) complex that plays a key role in pre-mRNA 3 prime-end formation, recognizing the AAUAAA signal sequence and interacting with poly(A) polymerase and other factors to bring about cleavage and poly(A) addition. A poly(A) tail is added to eukaryotic mRNA precursors after tightly coupled cleavage and polyadenylation reactions at their 3-prime ends.
