Abstract excerpt

Insect indirect flight muscles (IFM) contain a third filament system made up of elastic connecting or C-filaments. The giant protein projectin is the main, if not the only, component of these structures. In this study we found that projectin is oriented within the IFM sarcomere with its NH2-terminus embedded in the Z-bands. We demonstrate that this protein has an elastic region that can be detected by the...
