Comparative analysis of two genomic regions among four strains of Buchnera aphidicola, primary endosymbiont of aphids.

open access: yes, 2004
Preliminary analysis of two selected genomic regions of Buchnera aphidicola BCc, the primary endosymbiont of the cedar aphid Cinara cedri, has revealed a number of interesting features when compared with the corresponding homologous regions of the three ...

Deficient Cardiolipin Remodelling Alters Muscle Fibre Composition and Neuromuscular Connectivity in Barth Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked mitochondrial disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, which disrupts cardiolipin (CL) remodelling and mitochondrial function. While cardiac manifestations of BTHS are well characterized in male patients, the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability are poorly

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

open access: yesOxidative 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.

Thematic Review Series: Glycerolipids. Cardiolipin synthesis for the assembly of bacterial and mitochondrial membranes*

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
In this article, the formation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cardiolipin is reviewed in light of its biological function. I begin with a detailed account of the structure of cardiolipin, its stereochemistry, and the resulting physical properties, and I ...

Role of Hippo Pathway Effector Tafazzin Protein in Maintaining Stemness of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Research, 2018
Tafazzin (TAZ) protein has been upregulated in various types of human cancers, although the basis for elevation is uncertain, it has been made definite that the effect of mutation in the hippo pathway, particularly when it is switched off, considerably ...

Emerging Roles for Ciz1 in Cell Cycle Regulation and as a Driver of Tumorigenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Precise duplication of the genome is a prerequisite for the health and longevity of multicellular organisms. The temporal regulation of origin specification, replication licensing, and firing at replication origins is mediated by the cyclin-dependent ...

Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Inherited Mitochondrial Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic avenue for mitochondrial diseases. This review comprehensively evaluates MTx, differentiating its feasibility for mtDNA‐ and nDNA‐based disorders. It examines its potential for genetic correction, alongside inherent limitations, technical challenges, and crucial ethical considerations ...

Beneficial effects of SS-31 peptide on cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction in tafazzin knockdown mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Barth Syndrome (BTHS), a genetic disease associated with early-onset cardioskeletal myopathy, is caused by loss-of-function mutations of the TAFAZZIN gene, which is responsible for remodeling the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL).

Cardiolipin Profiling in Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Six human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, LM, BoM, T47D, MCF7, and MCF7-BoM) were treated with three differentially targeted phospholipase inhibitors (bromoenol lactone, tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate, and halopemide) as well as various dietary ...
