Mitochondrial peptide BRAWNIN is essential for vertebrate respiratory complex III assembly

Small open reading frame-encoded peptides (SEPs), shorter than 100 amino acids, are involved in many cell biological processes. Here the authors identify 16 nuclear-encoded mitochondrial SEPs, including BRAWNIN, an essential regulator of respiratory chain complex III assembly and ATP production.
