Key result
Muscle abnormalities in Drosophila melanogaster heldup mutants are caused by missing or aberrant troponin-I isoforms, with heldup2 specifically involving an alanine to valine conversion.
Muscle abnormalities in Drosophila heldup mutants are caused by mutations in the troponin-I gene, and resulting degeneration is exacerbated by actomyosin interactions.

Provides mechanistic insight into troponin-I in Drosophila muscle; leaves open translation to human myopathies.
Beall et al. (1991) studied Muscle abnormalities in Drosophila melanogaster heldup mutants. heldup gene mutations was evaluated on Molecular basis of muscle abnormalities. Muscle abnormalities in Drosophila melanogaster heldup mutants are caused by missing or aberrant troponin-I isoforms, with heldup2 specifically involving an alanine to valine conversion.
