Acidic phospholipids composed of two molecules of phosphatidic acid covalently linked to a molecule of glycerol. They occur primarily in mitochondrial inner membranes and in bacterial plasma membranes. They are the main antigenic components of the Wassermann-type antigen that is used in nontreponemal SYPHILIS SERODIAGNOSIS.

Nitric-oxide-induced apoptosis in human leukemic lines requires mitochondrial lipid degradation and cytochrome C release. (1/1010)

We have previously shown that nitric oxide (NO) stimulates apoptosis in different human neoplastic lymphoid cell lines through activation of caspases not only via CD95/CD95L interaction, but also independently of such death receptors. Here we investigated mitochondria-dependent mechanisms of NO-induced apoptosis in Jurkat leukemic cells. NO donor glycerol trinitrate (at the concentration, which induces apoptotic cell death) caused (1) a significant decrease in the concentration of cardiolipin, a major mitochondrial lipid; (2) a downregulation in respiratory chain complex activities; (3) a release of the mitochondrial protein cytochrome c into the cytosol; and (4) an activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. These changes were accompanied by an increase in the number of cells with low mitochondrial transmembrane potential and with a high level of reactive oxygen species production. Higher resistance of the CD95-resistant Jurkat subclone (APO-R) cells to NO-mediated apoptosis correlated with the absence of cytochrome c release and with less alterations in other mitochondrial parameters. An inhibitor of lipid peroxidation, trolox, significantly suppressed NO-mediated apoptosis in APO-S Jurkat cells, whereas bongkrekic acid (BA), which blocks mitochondrial permeability transition, provided only a moderate antiapoptotic effect. Transfection of Jurkat cells with bcl-2 led to a complete block of apoptosis due to the prevention of changes in mitochondrial functions. We suggest that the mitochondrial damage (in particular, cardiolipin degradation and cytochrome c release) induced by NO in human leukemia cells plays a crucial role in the subsequent activation of caspase and apoptosis.  (+info)

Enzymatic properties of vesicle-reconstituted human cytochrome P450SCC (CYP11A1) differences in functioning of the mitochondrial electron-transfer chain using human and bovine adrenodoxin and activation by cardiolipin. (2/1010)

The recently reported heterologous expression and purification of both human cytochrome P450SCC and adrenodoxin [Woods, S.T., Sadleir, J., Downs, T., Triantopoulos, T., Haedlam, M.J. & Tuckey, R.C. (1998) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 353, 109-115] has enabled us to perform studies with the membrane-reconstituted human enzymes to better understand the side-chain cleavage reaction in humans. Human P450SCC was successfully reconstituted into dioleoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles with and without cardiolipin and its enzymatic properties characterized in the membrane-bound state. Enhancement of the P450SCC activity and significant activation by cardiolipin were observed when human adrenodoxin instead of bovine adrenodoxin was used as electron donor. In the absence of cardiolipin, Km for cholesterol was decreased twice in the case of human adrenodoxin indicating enhanced cholesterol binding. On the other hand, in the presence of cardiolipin in the membrane both Km and V for cholesterol were decreased with human adrenodoxin as electron donor. Kinetic analysis of the interaction between human P450SCC and its redox partners provided evidence for enhanced binding of the human electron donor to human P450SCC indicated by both an increased V and decreased Kd for human adrenodoxin compared with the values with bovine adrenodoxin. Because no similar effects were observed in Tween 20 micelles, these results suggest that the phospholipid membrane may play an important role in the interaction of human adrenodoxin with human P450SCC.  (+info)

Phospholipid composition of Rickettsia prowazeki grown in chicken embryo yolk sacs. (3/1010)

The phospholipid composition and phospholipid fatty acid composition of purified Rickettsia prowazeki were determined. The lipid phosphorous content was 6.8 +/- 1.3 microgram/mg of total rickettsial protein. The major phospholipid was phosphatidylethanolamine (60 to 70%); phosphatidylglycerol constituted 20%, and phosphatidylcholine constituted 15%. Small amounts of phosphatidylserine and cardiolipin were detected. The principal fatty acids were 18:1, 16:1, and 16:0. The fatty acid composition of the phosphatidylcholine in the rickettsial extracts was very different than that of the other rickettsial phosphatides and very similar to that of normal yolk sac phosphatidylcholine. The specific of the phosphatidylcholine of rickettsiae grown in the presence of 32P was markedly lower than that of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. It is suggested that the phosphatidylcholine in the rickettsial extract is yolk sac derived and either tightly absorbed or exchanged into the rickettsial membrane.  (+info)

Conformationally altered beta 2-glycoprotein I is the antigen for anti-cardiolipin autoantibodies. (4/1010)

Anti-cardiolipin autoantibodies (aCL) induce thrombosis and recurrent fetal death. These antibodies require a 'cofactor', identified as beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2-GPI), to bind phospholipids. We show here that aCL can bind beta 2-GPI in the absence of phospholipid. Binding of aCL to beta 2-GPI is dependent upon the beta 2-GPI being immobilized on an appropriate surface including cardiolipin, irradiated polystyrene and nitrocellulose membrane. This effect cannot be explained by increased antigen density of beta 2-GPI immobilized on these surfaces. Rather, conformational changes that occur following the interaction of beta 2-GPI with phospholipid render this protein antigenic to aCL. Liquid-phase beta 2-GPI was not antigenic for aCL. Thus, aCL cannot bind circulating beta 2-GPI. These findings may explain why patients with aCL can remain healthy for many years but then undergo episodes of thrombosis or fetal loss without changes in their circulating aCL profile, as the triggering event for these pathologies can be predicted to be one that renders beta 2-GPI antigenic for aCL.  (+info)

Transbilayer movement and distribution of spin-labelled phospholipids in the inner mitochondrial membrane. (5/1010)

The transmembrane diffusion and equilibrium distribution of spin-labelled phosphatidylethanolamine (PE*), phosphatidylcholine (PC*) and cardiolipin (CL*) were investigated in purified mitochondrial inner membranes using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Using the back exchange technique, we found that the outside-inside movement of PE* and PC* in beef-heart inner mitochondrial membranes was rapid (t1/2 in the range 10-15 min at 30 degrees C). The steady-state distributions in non-energised mitoplasts were approximately 30% in the inner leaflet for PC* and 39% for PE*. Within the limits of probe concentration that can possibly be used in these experiments, the initial velocity of the inward movement was not saturable with respect to the amount of analogue added to the membranes, suggesting that the spin-labelled phospholipids diffused passively between the two leaflets of the inner mitochondrial membrane. In energised mitoplasts, PC* behaviour was not affected, PE* diffused approximately two times faster toward the inner monolayer but reached the same plateau. Treatment of energised mitochondria with N-ethylmaleimide did not affect PC* diffusion, while the kinetics of PE* internalisation became identical to that of PC*. Similar results were found when PC* and PE* movements were studied in mitoplasts from beef heart, rat liver or yeast. The spin-labelled cardiolipin, which possesses four long chains, had to be introduced in the mitoplast with some ethanol. After equilibration (t1/2 of the order of 13 min at 30 degrees C), the transmembrane distribution suggested that approximately half of the cardiolipin analogue remained in the outer leaflet. These results do not allow us to determine if a specific protein (or flippase) is involved in the phospholipid transmembrane traffic within inner mitochondrial membranes, but they show that lipids can rapidly flip through the mitochondrial membrane.  (+info)

Involvement of Arg-328, Arg-334 and Arg-342 of DnaA protein in the functional interaction with acidic phospholipids. (6/1010)

We reported previously that three basic amino acids (Arg-360, Arg-364 and Lys-372) of DnaA protein are essential for its functional interaction with cardiolipin. In this study, we examined the effect of mutation of some basic amino acids in a potential amphipathic helix (from Lys-327 to Ile-345) of DnaA protein on this interaction. ATP binding to the mutant DnaA protein, in which Arg-328, Arg-334 and Arg-342 were changed to acidic amino acids, was less inhibited by cardiolipin than that of the wild-type protein, as was the case for mutant DnaA protein with mutations of Arg-360, Arg-364 and Lys-372. A mutant DnaA protein with mutations of all six basic amino acids showed the most resistance to the inhibition of ATP binding by cardiolipin. These results suggest that Arg-328, Arg-334 and Arg-342, like Arg-360, Arg-364 and Lys-372, are also involved in the functional interaction between DnaA protein and acidic phospholipids.  (+info)

Maternal cardiolipin, beta 2-glycoprotein-I and prothrombin antibody expression in high-risk pregnancies with bilateral abnormal uterine artery Doppler waveforms. (7/1010)

OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of maternal serum antiphospholipid antibodies (to cardiolipin, beta 2-glycoprotein I and prothrombin) in pregnancies presenting with bilateral abnormal uterine artery Doppler waveforms. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of stored serum. SUBJECTS: Cases comprised 47 singleton pregnancies with bilateral abnormal uterine artery Doppler waveforms at 24 weeks of gestation, followed from 20 weeks, and controls were 100 healthy pregnancies with normal uterine artery Doppler waveforms. METHODS: Ultrasound examination utilized a 5-MHz curvilinear transabdominal transducer with pulsed and color Doppler facilities. Antiphospholipid antibodies were analyzed by ELISA methodology, and reference ranges were established using the geometric mean +/- 2 SD of healthy non-pregnant adults. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels were obtained from patient notes. RESULTS: Anticardiolipin antibodies were detected in 11 (23%) of the cases (IgG, n = 7; IgM, n = 6) compared with ten (10%) of the controls (p < 0.05). Low titer anticardiolipin IgG (range, 5.5-35.3; median, 6.3 GPL units) and anticardiolipin IgM (range, 3.4-14.7; median, 5.3 MPL units) were detected in cases. Amongst the cases, adverse perinatal outcomes were more common in the presence of raised levels of anticardiolipin antibodies. Anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I IgG was not detected in any of the cases. Antiprothrombin IgG was not detected, but antiprothrombin IgM occurred in 10.6% of cases compared with 2% of controls. CONCLUSIONS: Women with persistent bilateral abnormal uterine artery. Doppler waveforms in mid-gestation were more likely to express raised levels of anticardiolipin antibodies than healthy controls with normal uteroplacental perfusion. Anticardiolipin antibodies without anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I binding may be involved in the pathogenesis of uteroplacental ischemia in a proportion of high-risk pregnancies.  (+info)

Polar lipids of four Listeria species containing L-lysylcardiolipin, a novel lipid structure, and other unique phospholipids. (8/1010)

The membrane lipids of Listeria innocua, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria seeligeri and Listeria welshimeri were fractionated on DEAE-cellulose and purified by chromatography on silica gel and/or preparative TLC. The lipid structures were elucidated by chemical and chromatographic means. The polar lipid composition of the four listeria species was similar. Phospholipids predominated. They consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, L-lysylphosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin [bis(phosphatidyl)glycerol] and L-lysylcardiolipin. A phospholipid more polar than cardiolipin, possibly two L-lysyl derivatives of it, sn-glycero-1-phosphoglycolipid, its D-alanyl derivative, and polyprenol phosphate were also detected. Towards the end of exponential growth, the relative amounts of cardiolipin and L-lysylcardiolipin increased, approaching 47-78% lipid phosphorus with a ratio of L-lysylcardiolipin to cardiolipin of 0.25-1.6. As shown by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, cardiolipin and L-lysylcardiolipin consisted of five molecular species due to various fatty acid combinations. L-lysylcardiolipin has so far not been found in nature. It belongs to the recently discovered class of substituted cardiolipins. Its occurrence in the four listeria species tested shows that it is a characteristic lipid component of the L. monocytogenes line of descent. Further studies on the lipid pattern of members of the other descent line are required to decide whether lysylcardiolipin can serve as a genus-specific chemotaxonomic marker for listeriae.  (+info)

We previously reported that reduced LYCAT mRNA levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells correlated with poor pulmonary function outcomes and decreased survival in IPF patients. Further LYCAT overexpression reduced lung fibrosis, and LYCAT knockdown accentuated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. NADPH Oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression and oxidative stress are known to contribute to lung fibroblast differentiation and progression of fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the role of LYCAT in TGF-β mediated differentiation of human lung fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, and ...
Cardiolipin is found predominantly in the membranes of mitochondria and bacteria. It is a unique diphosphatidylglycerol containing four acyl groups. In animal tissues 80% of the acyl groups are composed of linoleic acid (18:2(n-6)).The identification of Barth′s syndrome, a disease associated with abnormalities in the fatty acid composition of cardiolipin causing cardiomyopathy and neutropenia, has displayed the importance of cardiolipin in mitochondrial functionality. Cardiolipin effects mitochondrial bioenergetics by providing essential structural and functional support to proteins localized within the mitochondria. Specifically, interaction of cardiolipin with cytochrome oxidase and adenine nucleotide translocase is required in order for both of these mitochondrial enzymes to maintain activity.Cardiolipin has been shown to perform a role in a number of other specific biological activities, including oxidative phosphorylation, apoptosis, cholesterol translocation and gene
CL(14:0/14:0/18:1(11Z)/22:0) is a cardiolipin (CL). Cardiolipins are sometimes called a double phospholipid because they have four fatty acid tails, instead of the usual two. CL(14:0/14:0/18:1(11Z)/22:0) contains two chains of tetradecanoic acid at the C1 and C2 positions, one chain of (11Z-octadecenoyl) at the C3 position, one chain of docosanoic acid at the C4 position. While the theoretical charge of cardiolipins is -2, under normal physiological conditions (pH near 7), the molecule may carry only one negative charge. In prokaryotes such as E. coli, the enzyme known as diphosphatidylglycerol synthase catalyses the transfer of the phosphatidyl moiety of one phosphatidylglycerol to the free 3-hydroxyl group of another, with the elimination of one molecule of glycerol. In E. coli, which acylates its glycerophospholipids with acyl chains ranging in length from 12 to 18 carbons and possibly containing an unsaturation, or a cyclopropane group more than 100 possible CL molecular species are ...

Cardolipins are a separate class of phospholipids present in the cell membranes of organisms from all domains of life. In studying the enzyme that is responsible for producing cardiolipins in archaea biochemists discovered a single archaeal enzyme can produce a range of natural and non-natural cardiolipins, as well as other phospholipids.
All-trans-retinoic-acid (ATRA) is a promising agent in the prevention/treatment of breast-cancer. There is growing evidence that reprogramming of cellular lipid metabolism contributes to malignant transformation and progression. Lipid metabolism is implicated in cell differentiation and metastatic colonization and it is involved in the mechanisms of sensitivity/resistance to different anti-tumor agents. The role played by lipids in the anti-tumor activity of ATRA has never been studied. We used 16 breast cancer cell-lines whose degree of sensitivity to the anti-proliferative action of ATRA is known. We implemented a non-oriented mass-spectrometry based approach to define the lipidomic profiles of each cell-line grown under basal conditions and following treatment with ATRA. To complement the lipidomic data, untreated and retinoid treated cell-lines were also subjected to RNA-sequencing to define the perturbations afforded by ATRA on the whole-genome gene-expression profiles. The number and functional
Kristin Dittenhafer-Reed, PhD, Van Andel Institute Researcher in the MacKeigan Laboratory that focuses on identifying and understanding the genes and signaling pathways that, when mutated, contribute to the pathophysiology of cancer and neurodegeneration.. Altered cellular metabolism and the evasion of cell death are two hallmarks of cancer. Both of these hallmarks involve the mitochondria, the metabolic centers of the cell and critical players in initiating apoptosis. This seminar will highlight studies of a specific mitochondrial membrane component, cardiolipin, which may serve as a molecular bridge connecting altered metabolism and resistance to cell death. Cardiolipin is required for proper mitochondrial structure and function, and importantly, it facilitates the cellular events that initiate apoptosis. Cancer cells are able to limit or evade apoptosis, often allowing cells to resist chemotherapy and causing a significant clinical problem. Using cellular biology and quantitative biochemistry ...
The importance of the content of anionic phospholipids [cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG)] in the osmotic adaptation and in the membrane structure of Bacillus subtilis cultures was investigated. Insertion mutations in the three putative cardiolipin synthase genes (ywiE, ywnE and ywjE) were obtained. Only the ywnE mutation resulted in a complete deficiency in cardiolipin and thus corresponds to a true clsA gene. The osmotolerance of a clsA mutant was impaired: although at NaCl concentrations lower than 1·2 M the growth curves were similar to those of its wild-type control, at 1·5 M NaCl (LBN medium) the lag period increased and the maximal optical density reached was lower. The membrane of the clsA mutant strain showed an increased PG content, at both exponential and stationary phase, but no trace of CL in either LB or LBN medium. As well as the deficiency in CL synthesis, the clsA mutant showed other differences in lipid and fatty acids content compared to the wild-type, suggesting a
1-MLCL(0:0/16:0/16:0/16:0) is a monolysocardiolipin (MLCL). Monolysocardiolipins have three fatty acid tails, instead of the usual two. 1-MLCL(0:0/16:0/16:0/16:0) contains one chain of at the C1 position, three chains of hexadecanoic acid at the C2, C3 and C4 positions. MLCL is present in eukaryotes as part of the metabolic cycle of mitochondrial lipids. Removal of one acyl chain from a cardiolipin results in generation of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL). MLCL has been used as an inter-mediate in the synthesis of spin-labeled CL to study the interaction of CL with mitochondrial enzymes. Because a role for MLCL has been suggested in apoptosis, this molecule has been used to study its interaction with various enzymes involved in lipid remodeling and apoptosis. There are two species of monolysocardiolipins, 1-MLCL which is missing a fatty acid in position R1 the and 2-MLCL which is missing a fatty acid in position R4 ...
The design of a human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) immunogen that can induce broadly reactive neutralizing antibodies is a major goal of HIV-1 vaccine development. Although rare human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) exist that broadly neutralize HIV-1, HIV-1 envelope immunogens do not induce these antibody specificities. Here we demonstrate that the two most broadly reactive HIV-1 envelope gp41 human mAbs, 2F5 and 4E10, are polyspecific autoantibodies reactive with the phospholipid cardiolipin. Thus, current HIV-1 vaccines may not induce these types of antibodies because of autoantigen mimicry of the conserved membrane-proximal epitopes of the virus. These results may have important implications for generating effective neutralizing antibody responses by using HIV-1 vaccines.. ...
Fig. 2. Assay of mAbs 2F5 and 4E10 against lipids and specificity of 2F5 and 4E10 mAb binding to cardiolipin. Microtiter plates were coated with 0.2 to 10 μg of lipid, blocked with 3% phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-bovine serum albumin (BSA), and mAbs were diluted in PBS-Tween 20 (0.05%) containing 3% BSA and 2% normal goat serum. (A) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reactivity of mAbs 4E10 (solid bars) and 2F5 (open bars) to CL, PS, PC, PE, and SM. Whereas both 4E10 and 2F5 reacted with cardiolipin, only 4E10 reacted with the other lipids tested. The reactivity of control human anti-CCR5 binding site mAb 1.7b was negative (33). Both mAbs 4E10 and 2F5 bound directly to cardiolipin, because cardiolipin binding in ELISA did not require the presence of bovine serum as a source of β2 glycoprotein-1; as an additional negative control, the reactivity of mAbs against empty methanol-coated plates was negative for 2F5 and was seen only at concentrations of 4E10≥2.5 μg per milliliter (33). ...
Chemical synthesis of diphosphatidyl glycerol, a long-chain fatty acid ester of diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl diglyceride and phosphatidyl glycerophosphate has stimulated a structural comparison with natural cardiolipin.

Another focus of our research on cytochrome c is the proteins interaction with anionic cardiolipin containing liposomes by CD, absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy. The specific aim of this project is to fully characterize structure and energy landscape of oxidized and reduced cytochrome c after the binding to the surface of such liposomes and after dissociation form the surface. These liposome serve as a model for the innermembrane of mitochondria. This will lead us to understand why the protein gains peroxidase activity on membrane surface if challenged with hydrogen peroxide. A detailed study aimed at exploring the binding and subsequent conformational changes of ferricytochrome c to cardiolipin containing liposomes have revealed two protein binding sites. For liposomes with 20% cardiolipin binding via site 1 is insensitive to the addition of NaCl and mostly preserves the native state, including the Fe-M80 linkage. Binding via site 2, however, causes a conformational transition into a ...
The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is a large, national, long-term study of more than 50,000 individuals who were between the ages of 45 and 85 when recruited. These participants will be followed until 2033 or death. The aim of the CLSA is to find ways to help us live long and live well, and understand why some people age in healthy fashion while others do not.. Between 2010 and 2015, the CLSA recruited and collected information from more than 50,000 individuals. Now the study has entered its next phase where each individual recruited between 2010 and 2015 (baseline) will be re-contacted for the first follow-up. The first follow-up will be conducted between 2015 and 2018. During this phase, the CLSA research team will collect the same type of information that was collected at baseline, along with several new measures that have been introduced.. The CLSA is a longitudinal design, meaning that it will follow people over a long period of time. However, researchers will not wait years ...
The mitochondrial calcium uniporter is a Ca2+‐activated Ca2+ channel that is essential for dynamic modulation of mitochondrial function in response to cellular Ca2+ signals. It is regulated by two paralogous EF‐hand proteins-MICU1 and MICU2, but the mechanism is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that both MICU1 and MICU2 are stabilized by Ca2+. We reconstitute the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer and demonstrate that it binds Ca2+ cooperatively with high affinity. We discover that both MICU1 and MICU2 exhibit affinity for the mitochondria‐specific lipid cardiolipin. We determine the minimum Ca2+ concentration required for disinhibition of the uniporter in permeabilized cells and report a close match with the Ca2+‐binding affinity of MICU1-MICU2. We conclude that cooperative, high‐affinity interaction of the MICU1-MICU2 complex with Ca2+ serves as an on-off switch, leading to a tightly controlled channel, capable of responding directly to cytosolic Ca2+ signals. ...

Ornithinyl ester of phosphatidyl glycerol was found to accumulate in Mycobacterium 607 under acidic conditions (pH 5.6) of growth or in cultures of ultraviolet-irradiated (320 to 420 nm) bacilli. There was a corresponding decrease in cardiolipin content of the organisms under these conditions. ...
Despite decades of research, there has been little new information on what biological mechanisms make bacterial pneumonia get worse, said senior author Rama K. Mallampalli, MD, a professor in the Acute Lung Injury Center of Excellence, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and pulmonary division chief at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System.. Our study reveals some of the molecular steps that can lead to lung injury after infection and shows us new avenues for pneumonia therapy that dont have to target bacteria, as antibiotics do, Mallampalli says.. The researchers found that lung fluid from humans and mice with pneumonia contains abnormally high levels of cardiolipin, a structural molecule that is typically found in the membranes of energy-making mitochondria. A carrier protein called Atp8b1 transports the molecule from the lung fluid into the cell, acting as a pump that regulates cardiolipin levels.. Infection leads to the death of cells, and that releases cellular components, ...

In vitro, the TRIAP1:PRELID3A complex mediates the transfer of phosphatidic acid (PA) between liposomes and probably functions as a PA transporter across the mitochondrion intermembrane space. Phosphatidic acid import is required for cardiolipin (CL) synthesis in the mitochondrial inner membrane.
Cardiolipin (CL) is a structurally unique dimeric phospholipid localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is required for optimal mitochondrial function. In addition to its role in maintaining membrane potential and architecture, CL is known to provide essential structural and functional …

Tafazzin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAZ gene. Tafazzin is highly expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle. It is involved in the metabolism of cardiolipin. Tafazzin functions as a phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase. The mutation of the tafazzin gene is associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome (BTHS) (type II 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Tafazzin is responsible for remodeling of a phospholipid cardiolipin (CL), the signature lipid of the mitochondrial inner membrane. As a result, BTHS patients exhibit defects in CL metabolism, including aberrant CL fatty acyl composition, accumulation of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) and reduced total CL levels. The protein was identified by Italian scientists Silvia Bione et al. in 1996. Owing to the complex procedure required for the identification of tafazzin, the protein was named after ...
Quantitative and qualitative alterations of mitochondrial cardiolipin have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Barth syndrome, an X-linked cardioskeletal myopathy caused by a deficiency in tafazzin, an enzyme in the cardiolipin remodeling pathway. A tafazzin-deficient Drosophila model of Barth syndrome that is characterized by low cardiolipin (CL) concentration, abnormal cardiolipin fatty acyl composition, abnormal mitochondria, and poor motor function has been generated earlier. This study shows that tafazzin deficiency in Drosophila disrupts the final stage of spermatogenesis, spermatid individualization, and causes male sterility. This phenotype can be genetically suppressed by inactivation of the gene encoding a calcium-independent phospholipase A2, iPLA2-VIA, which also prevents cardiolipin depletion/monolysocardiolipin accumulation, although in wild-type flies inactivation of the iPLA2-VIA does not affect the molecular composition of cardiolipin. Furthermore, it was shown that treatment ...
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked genetic condition, usually transmitted from mother to son (although there is a relatively high incidence of new mutations in Barth syndrome and one confirmed case report of a female Barth syndrome patient). A mother who is a carrier of a Barth syndrome mutation (the gene is named tafazzin - also called TAZ or G4.5) shows no signs or symptoms of this disorder herself, probably due to skewed X-chromosome inactivation.. There is a 50% chance that a boy born to a female carrier will have Barth syndrome, whereas girls born to a carrier have a 50% risk of being carriers themselves. All daughters of a male with Barth syndrome will be carriers, however no sons will be affected. Because there are proven non-carrier mothers, all mothers of Barth syndrome children should be tested in order to define the genetic risk in each family.. Any male child related through the female line to a Barth syndrome individual should be tested for the disorder, as there can be great ...
Lipids are ubiquitous and serve numerous biological functions; thus lipids have been shown to have great potential as candidates for elucidating biomarkers and pathway perturbations associated with disease. Methods expanding coverage of the lipidome increase the likelihood of biomarker discovery and could lead to more comprehensive understanding of disease etiology. We introduce LipidMatch, an R-based tool for lipid identification for liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry workflows. LipidMatch currently has over 250,000 lipid species spanning 56 lipid types contained in in silico fragmentation libraries. Unique fragmentation libraries, compared to other open source software, include oxidized lipids, bile acids, sphingosines, and previously uncharacterized adducts, including ammoniated cardiolipins. LipidMatch uses rule-based identification. For each lipid type, the user can select which fragments must be observed for identification. Rule-based identification allows for correct annotation of
Anticardiolipin antibodies purified from serum from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by cardiolipin micelles were studied for their effects on lymphocytes and neutrophils. At a concentration of 160 micrograms/ml they markedly suppressed the [3H]thymidine incorporation of mononuclear cells stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin (4.9 (SEM 1.9%) of the control) and pokeweed mitogen (26.7 (10.5%) of the control). In addition, anticardiolipin antibodies changed the cell cycle of phytohaemagglutinin stimulated lymphocytes such that the S and G2+M phases were significantly diminished (G0/G1 = 64.62%, S = 20.59%, G2+M = 14.78% in the presence of normal human IgG v G0/G1 = 86.07%, S = 10.32%, G2+M = 3.59% in the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies). The suppression of lymphocyte proliferation by anticardiolipin antibodies was shown not to be caused by an alteration of T cell subpopulations. However, the interleukin 2 receptors on the cell surface and the soluble interleukin 2 receptors in ...
The results of this study show that the synthesis of the inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipid, cardiolipin, is markedly inhibited following infection of human embryonic lung or hamster embryo fibroblast cells with herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2. The synthesis of other phospholipids, i.e., phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylinositol, is relatively unaffected.
Tafazzin knockdown causes hypertrophy of neonatal cardiac myocytes (34), and mutation of the tafazzin gene causes dilated cardiomyopathy in Barth syndrome (64). Our work with neonatal cardiac fibroblasts (NVFs) showed that tafazzin knockdown increased ROS production, activated MAPKs including p42/44 and p38, stimulated transcriptional and translational factors, which in turn activated cell cycle regulators, and increased DNA and protein synthesis. On the other hand, tafazzin knockdown also decreased intracellular ATP, activated AMPK, and halted the energy-consuming process (i.e., cell proliferation), ultimately resulting in multinucleation, hypertrophy, and enhanced collagen secretion.. Tafazzin plays an important role in de novo cardiolipin synthesis and remodeling in the mitochondria. Tafazzin knockdown leads to reduced cardiolipin, which is consistent with previous studies involving yeast (28), Drosophila (72), and human skin fibroblasts (68). To be consistent with what is reported in mice ...
General Information. There are several laboratory tests that can be undertaken to confirm the diagnosis of Barth syndrome. Finding a tafazzin gene (TAZ, also called G4.5) mutation that clearly disables protein synthesis or function is the most definitive test for Xq28-linked Barth syndrome. In addition, the finding of a severely depressed level of tetralinoleoyl-cardiolipin [Schlame et al (2002)], [Vreken et al (2000)] in platelets, cultured cells, or muscle tissue appears to be specific for Barth syndrome caused by mutations in the tafazzin gene. However, because completion of these tests can take more time than desirable when a child has critical cardiac disease, other laboratory tests, as discussed below, in the appropriate clinical setting can be all but diagnostic of Barth syndrome. Although not all clinicians follow the regulations, it is important to recognize that diagnostic information that is given to a patient or patients family must be provided by a laboratory that has met that ...
Hydrothermal experiments were conducted at ca. 1 to 7000 bars and 700 to 1250 °C in 121 rhyolitic to basaltic systems to determine Cl solubility in silicate melts, i.e., the maximum Cl concentration in melts that are saturated in a hydrosaline liquid with or without an aqueous or aqueous-carbonic vapor. The Cl concentration of melts increases with the Cl contents of the fluid unless the melt coexists with vapor plus hydrosaline liquid at fixed pressure and temperature; this phase assemblage buffers the Cl content of each phase with increasing Cl in the system. The Cl content of fluid(s)-saturated melts is independent of the CO2 concentration of the saline liquid ± vapor with up to 21 wt% CO2 in the fluid(s). The experiments show that Cl dissolution in aluminosilicate melts increases with temperature and pressure. Chlorine solubility is also a function of melt composition; it increases with the molar ([Al1/2+Ca1/2+Mg1/2+Na]/Si) of the melt.. These experimental data have been integrated with ...

Translocation of ions across biological membranes is an essential process of life. It is enabled by membrane proteins and relies on tight integration of these proteins into the lipid bilayer. The tight seal is the prerequisite for the generation of electrochemical proton gradients which are the key to biological energy conversion. It is now generally accepted that specific interactions between individual lipids and proteins are crucial for function and structural integrity of membrane proteins [1,2]. Of special interest is cardiolipin (CL), the signature lipid of mitochondria. CL is essential for the function of respiratory complex III and other mitochondrial membrane proteins and also for the integrity of respiratory supercomplexes. Yet, the molecular mechanisms and underlying structure-function relationships are not understood. Disruption of CL biosynthesis leads to the Barth syndrome. This cardio-skeletal myopathy is caused by mutations in the gene of the acyl transferase tafazzin resulting ...
After obtaining a skin sample from a patient with Barth syndrome, Pu was able to make stem cells from the patients skin cells, which he then turned into heart muscle cells. What was once skin became a beating heart muscle.. Next, Pu worked with Kevin Kit Parkers bioengineering group at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering to assemble the muscle cells on a tiny, flexible plastic film that instructs the cells to line up and form organized muscle fibers. When the cells are assembled into this heart-on-a-chip format, they are able to work together so their beating bends the plastic film. The amount of force the patients heart muscle generates can be measured by how much the sheet bends with each beat. Comparing a Barth syndrome patients sheet with one from a patient with a normally functioning heart further revealed that the Barth heart muscle cells were very weak compared to normal heart muscle cells. Thus, combining the stem cell and heart-on-a-chip technologies allowed ...

1. The [32P]phosphate incorporated into the phospholipids of isolated rat hepatic cells is present in phosphatidic acid and to a smaller extent in phosphatidylinositol. 2. The ability to synthesize nitrogen-containing phospholipids is restored by adding a liver supernatant fraction, and it is suggested that the metabolic deficiency is caused by the leakage of cytoplasmic enzymes of the synthetase system from the cells. 3. Fortified cell preparations were pulse-labelled with [32P]phosphate, [Me-14C]choline, [2-14C]ethanolamine and [U-14C]inositol and the subsequent fate of the labelled microsomal and mitochondrial phospholipids followed. 4. A fall in the specific radioactivity of microsomal phospholipids and a rise in that of mitochondrial phospholipids is interpreted as providing evidence of a transfer of labelled phospholipid molecules from the synthetic site (endoplasmic reticulum) to the mitochondrial membranes in the intact cells. 5. The formation of the phospholipids of mitochondrial ...
