Effects of tropomyosin deficiency in flight muscle of Drosophila melanogaster.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 1993

Molloy J, Kreuz A, Miller R, Tansey T, Maughan D

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the structure and function of muscle fibers in which tropomyosin stoichiometry has been reduced by genetic mutation. We used a Drosophila melanogaster flightless mutant Ifm(3)3 and a genetic cross of this mutant with wild type flies to achieve a gradation of tropomyosin gene dosag...
