The enigmatic role of tafazzin in cardiolipin metabolism

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2009
The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin plays an important role in cellular metabolism as exemplified by its involvement in mitochondrial energy production and apoptosis. Following its biosynthesis, cardiolipin is actively remodeled to achieve its final acyl composition.

Defining functional classes of Barth syndrome mutation in humans [PDF]

, 2016
The X-linked disease Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in TAZ; TAZ is the main determinant of the final acyl chain composition of the mitochondrial-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin.

Tafazzin knockdown in murine mesenchymal stem cells enhances the tafazzin knockdown mediated elevation in interleukin-10 secretion from murine B lymphocytes

Archives of Microbiology & Immunology, 2023
AbstractBarth Syndrome is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in theTAFAZZINgene. We recently demonstrated that tafazzin (Taz) protein deficiency in murine mesenchymal stems (MSCs) reduces immune function of activated wild type (WT) B lymphocytes.

Re-Expression of Tafazzin Isoforms in TAZ-Deficient C6 Glioma Cells Restores Cardiolipin Composition but Not Proliferation Rate and Alterations in Gene Expression

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Tafazzin—an acyltransferase—is involved in cardiolipin (CL) remodeling. CL is associated with mitochondrial function, structure and more recently with cell proliferation. Various tafazzin isoforms exist in humans.

Impaired cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with Barth syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X‐linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected

Characterization of Tafazzin Splice Variants from Humans and Fruit Flies [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
The tafazzin gene encodes a phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase involved in cardiolipin metabolism, but it is not known why it forms multiple transcripts as a result of alternative splicing. Here we studied the intracellular localization, enzymatic activity, and metabolic function of four isoforms of human tafazzin and three isoforms of ...
