Abstract excerpt
Proteins from the spectrin superfamily contribute to cell polarity and shape during the morphogenetic that accompany embryogenesis. Drosophila MSP-300, a member of the spectrin superfamily, is expressed in somatic, visceral and heart embryonic muscles. Cloning and sequence analysis of various spliced forms of MSP-300 reveals functional and structural similarities between MSP-300 and vertebrate Dystrophin, the...
