Identificationof the Site of the Fe–S Clusterin CPSF30 via Metal-Coupled Oxidation-Mass Spectrometry
Abstract Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 30 (CPSF30) is a zinc finger protein that plays a key role in pre-mRNA processing by recognizing specific AU-rich sequence elements to facilitate polyadenylation. CPSF30 contains five highly conserved domains made up of thr...
