Transcription of the human mitochondrial genome produces a vast amount of non-coding antisense RNAs. These RNA species can form G-quadraplexes (G4), which affect their decay. We found that the mitochondrial degradosome, a complex of RNA helicase SUPV3L1 (best known as SUV3) and the ribonuclease PNPT1 (also known as PNPase), together with G4-melting protein GRSF1, is a key player in restricting antisense mtRNAs.
人类线粒体基因组的转录产生了大量非编码反义RNA。这些RNA种类可形成G-四链体(G4),这会影响它们的降解。我们发现,线粒体降解体,即由RNA解旋酶SUPV3L1(最为人所知的是SUV3)和核糖核酸酶PNPT1(也称为PNPase)组成的复合物,与G4解旋蛋白GRSF1一起,是限制反义线粒体RNA的关键因素。
