A non-flight muscle isoform of Drosophila tropomyosin rescues an indirect flight muscle tropomyosin mutant.

Journal of muscle research and cell motility - 1 Feb 1993

Miller R C, Schaaf R, Maughan D W, Tansey T R

Abstract excerpt

The tropomyosin I(TmI) gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes two isoforms of tropomyosin. The Ifm-TmI isoform is expressed only in indirect flight and jump muscles; the Scm-TmI isoform is found in other muscles of the larva and adult. The level of Ifm-TmI is severely reduced in the flightless mutant Ifm(3)3, which also is unable to jump. To explore the functional significance of tropomyosin isoform diversity in...
