The mitochondrial genome encodes key components of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, whose expression is essential for mitochondrial functions. We have previously shown that deletion of theSchizosaccharomyces pombe ppr10encoding a pentatricopeptide repeat protein severely reduces the mature levels of intron-containing mitochondrial transcriptscox1andcob1, and severely impairs mitochondrial translation. In this study, we examined the possibility that the reduced levels of Cox1 and Cob1 proteins in cells were due to lowered levels ofcox1andcob1mRNAs. We found that deletion ofppr10did not affect the levels of maturecox1andcob1mRNAs in a mitochondrial intronless background. However, synthesis of Cox1 and Cob1 proteins were still severely affected by deletion ofppr10in a mitochondrial intronless background. Consistent with this, we found that deletion of mitochondrial introns could not rescue the respiratory growth defect of Δppr10cells. Our results reveal that Ppr10 is not required for the stability ofcox1andcob1mRNAs, and provide further support for the idea that Ppr10 plays a critical role in mitochondrial translation.
