Alterations in flight muscle ultrastructure and function in Drosophila tropomyosin mutants.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Nov 1996

Kreuz A J, Simcox A, Maughan D

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila indirect flight muscle (IFM) contains two different types of tropomyosin: a standard 284-amino acid muscle tropomyosin, Ifm-TmI, encoded by the TmI gene, and two > 400 amino acid tropomyosins, TnH-33 and TnH-34, encoded by TmII. The two IFM-specific TnH isoforms are unique tropomyosins with a COOH-terminal extension of approximately 200 residues which is hydrophobic and rich in prolines. Previous...
