Role of Tafazzin in Hematopoiesis and Leukemogenesis [PDF]

, 2020
Tafazzin (TAZ) is a mitochondrial transacylase that remodels the mitochondrial cardiolipin into its mature form. Through a CRISPR screen, we identified TAZ as necessary for the growth and viability of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

Impaired Hepatic Glucose Metabolism Is Associated With Glucose Intolerance in Mice Carrying α2 Isoform Na,K‐ATPase Mutation

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Na,K‐ATPase is important for energy demanding cellular processes, including essential components of substrate metabolism and metabolic flexibility. Mice heterozygous for the hemiplegic migraine‐related mutation, G301R, of the Na,K‐ATPase α2 isoform (α2+/G301R) demonstrated altered metabolism in the heart.

Mitochondrial membrane remodeling in stress adaptation: Lipid control of organelle quality

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondria respond to proteotoxic stress through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, traditionally viewed as a transcriptional program that restores proteostasis by inducing chaperones and proteases. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial membrane remodeling constitutes an additional adaptive component of this response ...

YAP‐activated lymph node fibroblasts contribute to extracellular matrix remodeling associated with extranodal extension of oral squamous cell carcinoma

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Desmoplasia, characterized by excessive expansion of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is widely present especially in invasive cancers. The extranodal extension (ENE) of nodal metastasis involves the extension of invasive tumor cells through the lymph node capsule into the perinodal ...

Monolysocardiolipin in cultured fibroblasts is a sensitive and specific marker for Barth Syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in abnormal metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). CLs are decreased and monolysocardiolipins (MLCLs), intermediates in CL metabolism, are increased in a variety

Genotype–Phenotype Discordance in Cardiomyopathies: Pathophysiology, Clinical Expression, and Therapeutic Considerations

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiomyopathies encompass a spectrum of myocardial disorders often attributed to underlying genetic mutations. However, genotype–phenotype discordance where the genetic profile does not align with the expected clinical presentation poses significant diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic challenges.

New C-Terminal Conserved Regions of Tafazzin, a Catalyst of Cardiolipin Remodeling [PDF]

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2019
Cardiolipin interacts with many proteins of the mitochondrial inner membrane and, together with cytochrome C and creatine kinase, activates them. It can be considered as an integrating factor for components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which provides for an efficient transfer of electrons and protons.

Survival and Clinical Progression in Barth Syndrome: Insights From the Barth Syndrome Foundation's Database of 502 Affected Individuals

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Barth syndrome (BTHS; OMIM 302060) is an ultra‐rare, life‐limiting genetic disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle myopathy, neutropenia, gastrointestinal issues, and fatigue. Formal analyses of survival and clinical progression remain limited.

TAZ encodes tafazzin, a transacylase essential for cardiolipin formation and central to the etiology of Barth syndrome [PDF]

, 2020
Tafazzin, which is encoded by the TAZ gene, catalyzes transacylation to form mature cardiolipin and shows preference for the transfer of a linoleic acid (LA) group from phosphatidylcholine (PC) to monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) with influence from ...
