Ontology: Cellular Component (GO:0005847)
Definition: A multisubunit complex that binds to the canonical AAUAAA hexamer and to U-rich upstream sequence elements on the pre-mRNA, thereby stimulating the otherwise weakly active and nonspecific polymerase to elongate efficiently RNAs containing a poly(A) signal.
Synonyms: CFII complex; cleavage and polyadenylylation specificity factor activity; CPF complex; CPSF complex
