In addition, expression of the Actin87E actin gene is initiated in the remodeling cardiac tube, but not in the longitudinal fibers, and we have identified an Act87E promoter fragment that recapitulates this switch in expression.

Actin was downregulated by Aroclor and Cu(II) but upregulated by TBT and As(III), while the opposite behavior was shown by a truncated actin form, homologous to the Drosophila act87E gene product.

We also found strong conservation in temporal expression patterns of the muscle actin genes--the homologues of the D. melanogaster genes Act57B and Act87E are expressed throughout the life cycle, whereas the other two D. virilis genes, homologous to Act79B and Act88F are specific to pupal and adult stages.
