Cardiac Transplantation Does Not Improve Exercise Tolerance, Muscle Mass, or Substrate Metabolism in Barth Syndrome. [PDF]

JIMD Rep
ABSTRACT Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked recessive disorder characterized by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, cardioskeletal myopathy, neutropenia, exercise intolerance, and growth delay. While cardiac transplantation can improve heart function in BTHS patients, the metabolic effects of this procedure ...

Tafazzin deficiency causes substantial remodeling in the lipidome of a mouse model of Barth Syndrome cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Medicine
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked disease, characterized clinically by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and growth retardation. BTHS is caused by mutations in the phospholipid acyltransferase tafazzin (Gene: TAFAZZIN, TAZ). Tafazzin

Aim24 and MICOS modulate respiratory function, tafazzin-related cardiolipin modification and mitochondrial architecture

eLife, 2014
Structure and function of mitochondria are intimately linked. In a search for components that participate in building the elaborate architecture of this complex organelle we have identified Aim24, an inner membrane protein. Aim24 interacts with the MICOS

Tafazzin senses curvature [PDF]

Nature Chemical Biology, 2012
The phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase tafazzin is responsible for enrichment of the cardiolipin fraction of mitochondria with tetralinoleoyl-cardiolipin. The specificity for linoleoyl hydrocarbon chains is now explained by the specific action of tafazzin on negatively curved lipid monolayers.

Tafazzin Modulates Allergen-Induced Mast Cell Inflammatory Mediator Secretion [PDF]

ImmunoHorizons, 2021
Abstract Allergic inflammatory diseases are a steadily growing health concern. Mast cells, a driving force behind allergic pathologies, modulate metabolic pathways to carry out various functions following IgE-FcεRI–mediated activation. Tafazzin (TAZ) is a cardiolipin transacylase that functions to remodel, and thereby mature, cardiolipin,

Drosophila tafazzinmutants have impaired exercise capacity [PDF]

Physiological Reports, 2018
Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondrial phospholipid that helps maintain normal structure of the inner mitochondrial membrane and stabilize the protein complexes of the electron transport chain to promote efficient ATP synthesis. Tafazzin, an acyl-transferase, is required for synthesis of the mature form of CL.

The Influence of Supplemental Dietary Linoleic Acid on Skeletal Muscle Contractile Function in a Rodent Model of Barth Syndrome

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Barth syndrome is a rare and incurable X-linked (male-specific) genetic disease that affects the protein tafazzin (Taz). Taz is an important enzyme responsible for synthesizing biologically relevant cardiolipin (for heart and skeletal muscle, cardiolipin

The Basis for Acyl Specificity in the Tafazzin Reaction [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme that transfers fatty acids from phospholipids to lysophospholipids. Mutations in tafazzin cause abnormal molecular species of cardiolipin and the clinical phenotype of Barth syndrome. However, the mechanism by which tafazzin creates acyl specificity has been controversial.

Prenatal case report of Barth syndrome caused by novel TAFAZZIN mutation: Clinical characteristics of fetal dilated cardiomyopathy with ascites

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disease, which appears in infancy with myocardial and skeletal muscle diseases, neutropenia, growth retardation, and other clinical features.
