Bruno 1/CELF regulates splicing and cytoskeleton dynamics to ensure correct sarcomere assembly Drosophila flight muscles

The CELF family of RNA binding proteins are important regulators of RNA processing during myogenesis. This study shows that the Drosophila homolog Bruno1 promotes a transition to mature spliceD isoforms, which is necessary for myofibrillogenesis and balanced growth in sarcomere length and width in flight muscles.

Intro post! We study genetic causes of #cardiomyopathy and #AFib with a focus on #myofilament and #sarcomere function.
