More proteins reported a highly significant (-log 10 False Discovery Rate [FDR] >4) reduction in abundance relative to proteins that reported increased abundance following kDNA loss (168 v 51), and a closer inspection of >2-fold depleted proteins revealed kDNA-binding proteins and mitochondrial RNA-processing factors ( Fig 6B ), consistent with destabilisation of these proteins after loss of all mitochondrial DNA and RNA.
