Description

Deletion of codon encoding the K1728 amino acid residue (this lesion corresponds to the recurrent K1729del mutation that is seen in Laing distal myopathy patients).

Comment:

Deletion of K1792 residue is analagous to the deletion of K1729 in human that is associated with Liang distal myopathy. A silent mutation C16786184T was also introduced.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

MhcK1728del homozygotes take longer to reach pupal stage.

MhcK1728del homozygous third instar larvae show decreased locomotor ability in crawling and turning assays, show a significant decrease in heart rate and their cardiac and striated muscles, as well as the indirect flight muscles in pupae, show sarcomere organization defects. Heterozygotes show similar but milder defects, except for the heart rate and cardiac muscle defects.

MhcK1728del heterozygous and (more severely) MhcK1728del/Mhc10 transheterozygous adults show significantly decreased jump and climbing abilities, display wing posture defects and fail to beat their wings, indicating a complete lack of flight ability. In MhcK1728del/Mhc10 transheterozygous adults these are associated with sarcomere organization defects and atrophy of the indirect flight muscles; MhcK1728del heterozygotes show only very mild sarcomere organization defects, occasional mitochondrial aggregation and no signs of atrophy.

Statement
Reference

The jump ability defects and flightless phenotype observed in MhcK1728del heterozygotes are suppressed by the expression of tnUAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR but are not significantly affected by tnMJO-348 heterozygosity.

The jump ability defects observed in MhcK1728del/Mhc10 transheterozygotes are not suppressed by the expression of tnUAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR.
