A Drosophila model of dominant inclusion body myopathy type 3 shows diminished myosin kinetics that reduce muscle power and yield myofibrillar defects
Individuals with inclusion body myopathy type 3 (IBM3) display congenital joint contractures with early-onset muscle weakness that becomes more severe in adulthood.The disease arises from an autosomal dominant point mutation causing an E706K substitution in myosin heavy chain type IIa.We have Ice Cream Maker previously expressed the corresponding m
