Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene myoblast city is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\mbc (CG10379, FBgn0015513). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: myoblast fusion; dorsal closure; actin cytoskeleton organization; larval visceral muscle development; cell competition in a multicellular organism; cytoskeleton organization. 39 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; multicellular structure; anatomical structure; non-connected developing system; embryonic/larval excretory system; organ system subdivision; portion of tissue; embryonic/larval hypodermal muscle; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; late extended germ band embryo. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: C2 calcium-dependent membrane targeting; Dedicator of cytokinesis; Src homology-3 domain. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult fat body, inseminated spermatheca. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1631013_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of mbc. Gene sequence location is 3R:19607488..19627356.

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 needed in wild-type cells for the death of Minute neighbours in cell competition experiments.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
mbc is required for the formation of syncytia within the visceral musculature of the midgut.
The mbc product functions as a specific upstream regulator of Rac1 activity that mediates several morphogenetic processes in embryogenesis.
Light and electron microscopy are used to study the process of myoblast fusion in mbc mutants.
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.
