Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| text | CPSF3 (also known as CPSF73) is the endonuclease that cleaves the pre-mRNA downstream from the polyadenylation (PAS) site, which is a prerequisite for polyadenylation (Ryan et al. 2004; Mandel et al. 2006). The identity of the endonuclease of the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex remained elusive for a long time because of the dependence of the cleavage on many CPA components that recognize the PAS site and sequences upstream and downstream from it (Ryan et al. 2004; Mandel et al. 2006). CPSF3 is a member of the metallo-beta-lactamase family of Zn2+-dependent hydrolases and requires Zn2+ for catalytic activity (Ryan et al. 2004; Mandel et al. 2006), with two Zn2+ ions bound to its active site (Mandel et al. 2006). XRN2 (5'-3' exoribonuclease 2) was reported as an enzyme involved in degradation of the 3' cleavage fragment, which helps to terminate transcription by RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) in a CPSF3 (also known as CPSF73)- and PP1-dependent manner (Eaton et al. 2018; Eaton et al. 2020). Changes in relative abundance of a single CPA component can modulate the length of 3' UTRs across the transcriptome by favoring selection of the PAS and thus the cleavage site (Martin et al. 2012). Higher levels of PCF11 and FIP1L1 enhance usage of proximal 3'UTR PASs (Li et al. 2015). |
