A biochemical deficiency of mitochondrial complex I (CI) underlies [~]30% of cases of primary mitochondrial disease, yet the inventory of molecular machinery required for CI assembly remains incomplete. We previously characterised patients with isolated CI deficiency caused by segregating variants in RTN4IP1, encoding a mitochondrial NAD(P)H oxidoreductase. Here, we demonstrate that RTN4IP1 deficiency causes a CI assembly defect in both patient fibroblasts and knockout cells, and report that RTN4IP1 is a bona fide CI assembly factor. Complexome profiling revealed accumulation of unincorporated ND5-module and impaired N-module production. RTN4IP1 patient fibroblasts also exhibited defective coenzyme Q biosynthesis, substantiating this emerging function of RTN4IP1. Thus, our data reveal RTN4IP1 plays an essential role in both the terminal stages of CI assembly and in coenzyme Q metabolism, and that pathogenic RTN4IP1 variants impair both functions in patients with mitochondrial disease.
