    Abstract

    Human cleavage factor I(m) (CFI(m)) is a heterodimeric RNA binding protein complex that functions at an early step in the assembly of the pre-mRNA 3' processing complex. In this report we show that CFI(m) can stimulate both cleavage and poly(A) addition, and can act to suppress poly(A) site cleavage in a sequence-dependent manner. Elevated levels of CFI(m) suppressed cleavage at the primary poly(A) site of the pre-mRNA encoding the 68 kDa subunit of CFI(m). CFI(m)-mediated suppression of poly(A) site cleavage was dependent upon the presence of three copies of an RNA element initially identified by CFI(m)-SELEX. These data provide evidence for a mechanism for the regulation of poly(A) site selection by a basal pre-mRNA 3' processing factor.
