Abstract:
Background
Projectin is a giant modular protein of Drosophila muscles and a key component of the elastic connecting filaments (C-filaments), which are involved in stretch activation in
insect Indirect Flight Muscles. It is comparable in its structure to titin, which has been implicated as a scaffold during
vertebrate myofibrillogenesis.
