The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

rols is enriched in border follicle cells relative to follicle cells.
rols transcription from the upstream promoter (called rols7) is observed in the differentiating embryonic somatic and visceral mesoderm. Transcription from the downstream rols promoter (called rols6) is strong in early embryonic stage 11 between the ectodermal hindgut anlage and the posterior midgut primordium, where the renal tubes originate. Transcription continues throughout Malpighian tubule development.
Transcript is first detected in the progenitors of visceral, somatic and pharyngeal muscles. Visceral mesoderm expression decreases during germband shortening while somatic mesoderm expression persists. At stage 15 rols transcript is no longer detected in the mesoderm but rather in muscle attachment sites along the segmental border.
The protein is detected in discrete aggregates in the cytoplasm of founder muscle progenitor cells.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

rols acts during myoblast fusion to link the initial event of myoblast attraction with the downstream event of myotubule structural organisation.
rols mutants are defective in myoblast fusion.
Mutations in rols result in severe defects in myoblast fusion.
rols is involved in muscle fusion in the developing embryo.
The fusion process during muscle development is severely disrupted in mutant embryos.
Complementation groups l(3)68Fa, l(3)68Fb, l(3)68Fc, l(3)68Fd, l(3)68Fe, Nrx-IV, l(3)69Aa and l(3)69Ab isolated by Hoogwerf et al. (FBrf0048238) probably correspond to complementation groups l(3)68Fg, l(3)j2D3, l(3)68Fh, rols, l(3)68Fi, Nrx-IV, l(3)69Ah and l(3)69Ai isolated by Baumgartner at al, 1996, Cell 87: 1059--1068, but a one to one correspondence cannot be made as Hoogwerf mutations are apparently lost.
