Abstract

Yang et al. show that the germ-cell-restricted MAGE-A11 is aberrantly expressed in tumors and drives tumorigenesis through ubiquitination of PCF11, a component of the 3′-mRNA processing complex. PCF11 ubiquitination results in alternative polyadenylation of transcripts leading to 3′ UTR shortening.
