The sole essential low molecular weight tropomyosin isoform of Caenorhabditis elegans is essential for pharyngeal muscle function.

Michael J. Kimmich, Meaghan A. Geary, Lei Mi‐Mi…·David Pruyne

This study identifies LEV-11E as the sole essential low molecular weight tropomyosin isoform in C. elegans, critical for pharyngeal muscle function despite not stabilizing thin filaments.

FHOD-1/profilin-mediated actin assembly protects sarcomeres against contraction-induced deformation in C. elegans

Michael J. Kimmich, Sumana Sundaramurthy, Meaghan A. Geary…·David Pruyne

This study shows FHOD-1 and profilin cooperate to stabilize sarcomere Z-lines in C. elegans by promoting actin assembly and preventing muscle deformation during contraction.
