Contractile protein gene arrangement was investigated within the 88F subdivision of the D. melanogaster 3rd chromosome. At least 5 antigenically related myofibrillar proteins, 3 of which accumulate only within indirect flight muscles, are encoded by a 20 kilobase chromosome segment located 140 kilobases proximal to the act88F actin gene. The chromosome segment includes 2 transcribed regions, each of which directs the synthesis of multiple mRNA. RNA blot-hybridization experiments and DNA sequencing suggest that overlapping transcripts are generated by differential RNA splicing. The nucleotide sequence also establishes that 2 of the encoded proteins are tropomyosin isoforms, and 2 re related to tropomyosin. The arrangement of myofibrillar genes parallels the distribution of 3rd chromosome mutations that disrupt indirect flight muscle formation.
