RESUMO

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mitoribosomal RNA of the minor subunit, 15S rRNA, is transcribed as a bicistronic transcript along with tRNAW. 5' and 3' sequences flanking the mature transcript must be removed by cleavage at the respective junctions before incorporating it into the mitoribosome. An in vivo dose-response triphasic system was created to elucidate the role of Ccm1p in the processing of 15S rRNA: Ccm1p supply ("On"), deprivation ("Off"), and resupply ("Back on"). After 72 h under "Off" status, the cells started to exhibit a complete mutant phenotype as assessed by their lack of growth in glycerol medium, while keeping their mitochondrial DNA integrity (ρ+). Full functionality of mitochondria was reacquired upon "Back on." 15S rRNA levels and phenotype followed the Ccm1p intramitochondrial concentrations throughout the "On-Off-Back on" course. Under "Off" status, cells gradually accumulated unprocessed 5' and 3' junctions, which reached significant levels at 72-96 h, probably due to a saturation of the mitochondrial degradosome (mtEXO). The Ccm1p/mtEXO mutant (Δccm1/Δdss1) showed a copious accumulation of 15S rRNA primary transcript forms, which were cleaved upon Ccm1p resupply. The gene that codes for the RNA component of RNase P was conserved in wild-type and mutant strains. Our results indicate that Ccm1p is crucial in processing the 15S rRNA primary transcript and does not stabilize the already mature 15S rRNA. Consequently, failure of this function in Δccm1 cells results, as it happens to any other unprocessed primary transcripts, in total degradation of 15S rRNA by mtEXO, whose mechanism of action is discussed.
