Abstract
Background: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 (PGC-1) γ and γ are transcriptional regulators of mitochondrial metabolism. Results: Loss of PGC-1 coactivators in mouse heart causes a defect in phospholipid biosynthesis resulting in mitochondrial ultrastructural abnormalities. Conclusion: PGC-1 coactivators coordinately regulate mitochondrial metabolism and structure. Significance: The mitochondrial phenotype of PGC-1-deficient mice resembles that of humans with genetic defects in mitochondrial phospholipid biosynthesis (Barth syndrome).
