Small mitochondrial RNAs as mediators of nuclear gene regulation, and potential implications for human health.

Abstract excerpt

Much research has focused on the effects of pathogenic mitochondrial mutations on health. Notwithstanding, the mechanisms regulating the link between these mutations and their effects remain elusive in several cases. Here, we propose that certain mitochondrial mutations may disrupt function of a set of mitochondrial-transcribed small RNAs, perturbing communication between mitochondria and nucleus, leading to...
