Mitochondrial ribosomal proteins were studied
best in yeast, where the small subunit was shown to contain about 35 proteins. Yet, genetic and biochemical studies identified only 14 proteins, half of which were predictable by sequence homology with
prokaryotic ribosomal components of the small subunit. Using a recently
described affinity purification technique and tagged versions of yeast
Ykl155c and Mrp1, we isolated this mitochondrial ribosomal subunit and identified a total of 20 proteins, of which 12 are new. For a subset of
the newly described ribosomal proteins, we showed that they are
localized in mitochondria and are required for the respiratory competency of the yeast cells. This brings to 26 the total number of
proteins described as components of the mitochondrial small ribosomal
subunit. Remarkably, almost half of the previously and newly identified
mitochondrial ribosomal components showed no similarity to any known
ribosomal protein. Homologues could be found, however, in predicted
protein sequences from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In more
distant species, putative homologues were detected for Ykl155c, which
shares conserved motifs with uncharacterized proteins of higher
eukaryotes including humans. Another newly identified ribosomal
protein, Ygl129c, was previously shown to be a member of the DAP-3
family of mitochondrial apoptosis mediators.
