From the The yeast mitochondrial degradosome (mtEXO) is an
NTP-dependent exoribonuclease involved in mitochondrial RNA
metabolism. Previous purifications suggested that it was composed of
three subunits. Our results suggest that the degradosome is composed of
only two large subunits: an RNase and a RNA helicase encoded by nuclear
genes DSS1 and SUV3, respectively, and that it
co-purifies with mitochondrial ribosomes. We have found that the
purified degradosome has RNA helicase activity that precedes and is
essential for exoribonuclease activity of this complex. The degradosome RNase activity is necessary for mitochondrial biogenesis but in vitro the degradosome without RNase activity is still able to unwind RNA. In yeast strains lacking degradosome components there is a
strong accumulation of mitochondrial mRNA and rRNA precursors not
processed at 3'- and 5'-ends. The observed accumulation of precursors
is probably the result of lack of degradation rather than direct
inhibition of processing. We suggest that the degradosome is a central
part of a mitochondrial RNA surveillance system responsible for
degradation of aberrant and unprocessed RNAs.
