CPSF6
CPSF6 (Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor subunit 6) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia.
Overview
Component of the cleavage factor Im (CFIm) complex that functions as an activator of the pre-mRNA 3'-end cleavage and polyadenylation processing required for the maturation of pre-mRNA into functional mRNAs. CFIm contributes to the recruitment of multiprotein complexes on specific sequences on the pre-mRNA 3'-end, so called cleavage and polyadenylation signals (pA signals). Most pre-mRNAs contain multiple pA signals, resulting in alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) producing mRNAs with variable 3'-end formation.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.60 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.93, affected pathway 0.94, genetic association 0.00).

Biology
Component of the cleavage factor Im (CFIm) complex that functions as an activator of the pre-mRNA 3'-end cleavage and polyadenylation processing required for the maturation of pre-mRNA into functional mRNAs. CFIm contributes to the recruitment of multiprotein complexes on specific sequences on the pre-mRNA 3'-end, so called cleavage and polyadenylation signals (pA signals). Most pre-mRNAs contain multiple pA signals, resulting in alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) producing mRNAs with variable 3'-end formation. The CFIm complex acts as a key regulator of cleavage and polyadenylation site choice during APA through its binding to 5'-UGUA-3' elements localised in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) for a huge number of pre-mRNAs. CPSF6 enhances NUDT21/CPSF5 binding to 5'-UGUA-3' elements localised upstream of pA signals and promotes RNA looping, and hence activates directly the mRNA 3'-processing machinery. Plays a role in mRNA export. Location: Nucleus; Nucleus, nucleoplasm; Nucleus speckle; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 12q15 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
