Mechanistic insights into actin-driven polarity site movement in yeast.

abstract：:Mutations in the mitochondrial cardiolipin (CL) transacylase, tafazzin (Taz1p), result in the X-linked cardioskeletal myopathy, Barth syndrome (BTHS). The mitochondria of BTHS patients exhibit variable respiratory defects and abnormal cristae ultrastructure. The biochemical basis for these observations is unknown. In ...
