Twist is required for muscle template splitting during adult Drosophila myogenesis.

Developmental biology - 1 Nov 1998

Cripps R M, Olson E N

Abstract excerpt

The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Twist is required for normal development of larval and adult somatic muscles in Drosophila. Adult flies normally have six pairs of dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscles (DLMs), whereas when Twist function is reduced, only three pairs of DLMs are formed. Although twist is expressed in precursors of adult muscles throughout the larval and early pupal stages, we...
