One of the two cytoplasmic actin isoforms in Drosophila is essential.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Jun 2002

Wagner Cynthia R, Mahowald Anthony P, Miller Kathryn G

Abstract excerpt

Actin is a highly conserved protein found in all eukaryotic organisms. Most organisms have multiple cytoplasmic actin genes that encode isoforms with slightly different amino acid sequences. These different isoforms are coexpressed in many cell types. Why organisms have multiple very similar cytoplasmic actin genes is unclear. We have addressed this question with the cytoplasmic actins in Drosophila, Act5C, and...
