The long non-coding RNA Cerox1 is a post transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial complex I catalytic activity by Tamara M Sirey, Kenny Roberts, Wilfried Haerty, Oscar Bedoya-Reina, Sebastian Rogatti-Granados, Jennifer Y Tan, Nick Li, Lisa C Heather, Roderick N Carter, Sarah Cooper, Andrew J Finch, Jimi Wills, Nicholas M Morton, Ana Claudia Marques, Chris P Ponting

“…Here we show that Cerox1, an unusually abundant cytoplasmic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), modulates the levels of mitochondrial complex I subunit transcripts in a manner that requires binding to microRNA-488-3p. Increased abundance of Cerox1 cooperatively elevates complex I subunit protein abundance and enzymatic activity, decreases reactive oxygen species production, and protects against the complex I inhibitor rotenone. …”
