Abstract excerpt
We report here on the role of open reading frame (ORF) SPCC1183.04c of Schizosaccharomyces pombe in mitochondrial RNA metabolism. A mutant deleted for this ORF on chromosome III accumulates mitochondrial transcripts with the exception of the cob mRNA. A detailed Northern blot analysis showed that the effect results from a decrease in RNA degradation but not from RNA processing deficiencies. Overexpression of the...
