RTN4IP1 is essential for the final stages of mitochondrial complex I assembly and coenzyme Q biosynthesis

Monika Oláhová, Rachel M. Guerra, Jack J. Collier, Juliana Heidler, Kyle Thompson, Chelsea R. White, Paulina Castañeda-Támez, Alfredo Cabrera‐Orefice, Robert Neil Lightowlers, Zofia M. A. Chrzanowska-Lightowlers, Alexander S. Galkin, Ilka Wittig, David J. Pagliarini, Robert William Taylor

This study shows RTN4IP1 is critical for mitochondrial complex I assembly and coenzyme Q biosynthesis, with mutations causing defects in both processes in patient cells.

Engineering bacterial protein polymers to support human pluripotent stem cell growth and differentiation in culture.

Adam R. Creigh, Helen Waller, Jeremy H. Lakey, Zofia M. Chrzanowska‐Lightowlers, Robert Neil Lightowlers, Daniel T. Peters

This study develops Caf1 protein variants that support iPSC growth and differentiation as effectively as GelTrex, offering a defined and cost-effective alternative to animal-derived substrates.
