Journal ArticleDOI
The enzymatic function of tafazzin.
TL;DR: The data show that Drosophila tafazzin is a CoA-independent, acyl-specific phospholipid transacylase with substrate preference for cardiolipin and phosphatidylcholine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular symmetry in mitochondrial cardiolipins.
TL;DR: This work explored the enormous combinatorial diversity among cardiolipin species, which results from the presence of four fatty acids in each molecule, by integrated use of high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, diacylglycerol species analysis, fatty acid analysis, and selective cleavage of fatty acids by phospholipase A2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiolipin Affects the Supramolecular Organization of ATP Synthase in Mitochondria
TL;DR: The data suggest that cardiolipin promotes the ribbonlike assembly of ATP synthase dimers and thus affects lateral organization and morphology of the crista membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remodeling of Cardiolipin by Phospholipid Transacylation
TL;DR: The data suggest that CL is remodeled by acyl specific phospholipid transacylation and that tafazzin is an acyltransferase involved in this mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Drosophila model of Barth syndrome.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a lack of full-length tafazzin is responsible for the cardiolipin deficiency, which is integral to the disease mechanism, leading to mitochondrial myopathy.
