Amino acid replacement D154N in the Act88F coding region. The equivalent mutation in the human ACTA1 gene is associated with severe actinopathy, nemaline myopathy and intranuclear rods.

D154N
Analogous mutation in human ACTA1 implicated in myopathy, congenital, ACTA1-related; mutation carried on in vitro construct.
Flies carrying one copy of Act88FD154N in a Act88F6/+ background are completely flightless.
Flies carrying one copy of Act88FD154N in a Act88F6/+ background show major defects in Z-disc organisation in the indirect flight muscles. Recognisable ordered myofibrils are not formed in the indirect flight muscles of flies carrying two copies of Act88FD154N in a homozygous Act88F6 background, although disordered actin filaments are present.
Closely packed Z-disc stacks or "zebra bodies" are seen in the indirect flight muscles of flies carrying one copy of Act88FD154N in a Act88F6/+ background.
Ring-like Z-disc structures or aggregates and F-actin containing intranuclear rods are seen in the indirect flight muscles of flies carrying one copy of Act88FD154N in a Act88F6/+ background.
Expression of Act88F+t4.0 in flies carrying one copy of Act88FD154N in a Act88F6/+ background largely partially flight ability. Normal myofibril structure in the indirect flight muscles is rescued.
