An evolutionary analysis of flightin reveals a conserved motif unique and widespread in Pancrustacea.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 2014

Soto-Adames Felipe N, Alvarez-Ortiz Pedro, Vigoreaux Jim O

Abstract excerpt

Flightin is a thick filament protein that in Drosophila melanogaster is uniquely expressed in the asynchronous, indirect flight muscles (IFM). Flightin is required for the structure and function of the IFM and is indispensable for flight in Drosophila. Given the importance of flight acquisition in the evolutionary history of insects, here we study the phylogeny and distribution of flightin. Flightin was...
