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 ...

Holding Out for a Model: Rhomboid Superfamily in Vertebrate Development and Disease

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 240, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The rhomboid superfamily, comprising both proteases and pseudoproteases, has emerged as a central regulator of membrane biology, mediating diverse functions including protein quality control, signal transduction, trafficking, and more. While molecular mechanisms of rhomboid activity have been well‐characterized in invertebrate and cell‐based ...

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.

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 ...

A Barth Syndrome Patient-Derived D75H Point Mutation in TAFAZZIN Drives Progressive Cardiomyopathy in Mice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Cardiomyopathy is the predominant defect in Barth syndrome (BTHS) and is caused by a mutation of the X-linked Tafazzin (TAZ) gene, which encodes an enzyme responsible for remodeling mitochondrial cardiolipin. Despite the known importance of mitochondrial

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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria as Regulators of Nonapoptotic Cell Death in Cancer

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
Mitochondrial fission and fusion are key processes in maintaining cellular health. Fission is driven by proteins like, Fis‐1, which recruits DRP‐1, to facilitate the division of mitochondria. Fusion, however, is mediated by mitofusion 1(MFN1), mitofusion 2(MFN2), and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), which work together to merge mitochondria, allowing functional
