The UCS factor Steif/Unc-45b interacts with the heat shock protein Hsp90a during myofibrillogenesis.

Developmental biology - 1 Aug 2007

Abstract excerpt

Contraction of muscles is mediated by highly organized arrays of myosin motor proteins. We report here the characterization of a mutation of a UCS gene named steif/unc-45b that is required for the formation of ordered myofibrils in both the skeletal and cardiac muscles of zebrafish. We show that Steif/Unc-45b interacts with the chaperone Hsp90a in vitro. The two genes are co-expressed in the skeletal musculature...
