ATP can stimulate or inhibit pre-mRNA 3′ cleavage.
ATP analog testing is consistent with a cleavage factor binding role, not a kinase substrate role.
AMP-PCP inhibits 3′ cleavage with an IC50 of 300 μM.
ATP is not needed for hClp1-Pcf11 complex stability.
Poly(A) polymerase unable to bind ATP stimulates 3′ cleavage.
