The Drosophila projectin mutant, bentD, has reduced stretch activation and altered indirect flight muscle kinetics.

Journal of muscle research and cell motility - 1 Nov 1999

Moore J R, Vigoreaux J O, Maughan D W

Abstract excerpt

Projectin is a ca. 900 kDa protein that is a member of the titin protein superfamily. In skeletal muscle titins are involved in the longitudinal reinforcement of the sarcomere by connecting the Z-band to the M-line. In insect indirect flight muscle (IFM), projectin is believed to form the connecting filaments that link the Z-band to the thick filaments and is responsible for the high relaxed stiffness found in...
