Gene Summary
myoblast city (mbc) encodes an unconventional bipartite GEF that, in combination with the product of Ced-12, activates the monomeric GTPase encoded by Rac1. It contributes to myoblast fusion, border cell migration and dorsal closure. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Group (FlyBase)
RHO GUANINE NUCLEOTIDE EXCHANGE FACTORS -
RhoGEFs are Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs) for Rho family GTPases. They include Dbl-homology domain-containing proteins (the largest family of RhoGEFs) and CZH2 domain/Dock family GEFs. (Adapted from FBrf0190957).
Pathway (FlyBase)
Pvr Signaling Pathway Core Components -
PDGF/VEGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)-receptor related (Pvr) encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase activated by the binding of PDGF- and VEGF-related factors (Pvf1,Pvf2 or Pvf3). Pvr has been shown to activate the canonical Ras/Raf/MAP kinase (ERK) cascade, the PI3K kinase pathway, TORC1 (FBrf0222697), Rho family small GTPases (FBrf0221764, FBrf0180198) and the JNK cascade (FBrf0180198), in a context-dependent manner. (Adapted from FBrf0222697 and FBrf0221727).
Summary (Interactive Fly)

a docking protein: DOCK180 homolog - by guanine nucleotide exchange factor - essential for myoblast fusion - in combination with Ced-12, activates the Rac1 monomeric GTPase - contributes to border cell migration and dorsal closure

Additional Descriptive Data

mbc protein expression correlates approximately with mbc transcript expression. Although mbc transcript is not detected in mature muscles, mbc protein is detected at low levels in mature muscles. Colocalization studies with Mef2 protein indicate that mbc protein is present in ectodermal and endodermal germ layers, with ectodermal expression being restricted to the epidermal layer, and that mbc is expressed in myoblasts.

                  mbc is both necessary and sufficient in the fusion competent myoblasts for fusion with founder cells during embryonic somatic muscle development.

                  (Haralalka et al., 2011)

                  mbc is needed in wild-type cells for the death of Minute neighbours in cell competition experiments.

                  (Li and Baker, 2007)

                  dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

                  (Kiger et al., 2003)

                  dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.

                  (Rogers et al., 2003)

                  mbc is required for the formation of syncytia within the visceral musculature of the midgut.

                  (Klapper et al., 2002)

                  The mbc product functions as a specific upstream regulator of Rac1 activity that mediates several morphogenetic processes in embryogenesis.

                  (Nolan et al., 1998)

                  Light and electron microscopy are used to study the process of myoblast fusion in mbc mutants.

                  (Doberstein et al., 1997)

                  Neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) can form on founder cells in the absence of myoblast fusion these NMJs have morphological and physiological properties closely resembling those of wild type. A smaller surface area of the fibre than wild type is devoted to the NMJ.

                  mbc is required for the fusion of myoblasts into multinucleate muscles. The phenotype of mbc mutants provides evidence in support of the founder cell hypothesis of muscle development.
