The Drosophila indirect flight muscles (IFM) can be used as a model for the study of sarcomere assembly. Here we use a transgenic line with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) exon inserted into the Z-disc-proximal portion of sallimus (Sls), also known

Muscle contraction is a highly fine-tuned process that requires the precise and timely construction of large protein sub-assemblies to form sarcomeres. Mutations in many genes encoding constituent proteins of this macromolecular machine result in def

Over 190 mutations in the human skeletal muscle α-actin gene, ACTA1 cause congenital actin myopathies. We transgenically expressed six different mutant actins, G15R, I136M, D154N, V163L, V163M and D292V in Drosophila indirect flight muscles and inve

Nemaline myopathy, known to be caused by mutations in 7 genes, including skeletal muscle α-actin ( ACTA1 ),1 is characterized by muscle weakness, hypotonia, and nemaline rods in muscle biopsy. Here we report a patient with nemaline rods but the oppo

Most human ACTA1 skeletal actin gene mutations cause dominant, congenital myopathies often with severely reduced muscle function and neonatal mortality. High sequence conservation of actin means many mutated ACTA1 residues are identical to those in t

Objective Mutations in the α-skeletal actin gene (ACTA1) result in a variety of inherited muscle disorders characterized by different pathologies and variable clinical phenotypes. Mutations at Val163 in ACTA1 result in pure intranuclear rod myopathy

During myofibrillogenesis, many muscle structural proteins assemble to form the highly ordered contractile sarcomere. Mutations in these proteins can lead to dysfunctional muscle and various myopathies. We have analyzed the Drosophila melanogaster tr

We have developed a novel apparatus, an ergometer, to simultaneously measure the horizontal and vertical components of the work done during takeoff by the fruitfly, Drosophila. We confirm the anatomical prediction that all the work comes from the mid

Drosophila obscurin (Unc-89) is a titin-like protein in the M-line of the muscle sarcomere. Obscurin has two kinase domains near the C-terminus, both of which are predicted to be inactive. We have identified proteins binding to the kinase domains. Ki

In Drosophila melanogaster two high molecular weight tropomyosin isoforms, historically named heavy troponins (TnH-33 and TnH-34), are encoded by the Tm1 tropomyosin gene. They are specifically expressed in the indirect flight muscles (IFM). Their N-
