-
Rols is similarly enriched in vivo at points of FCM-precursor/myotube contact in embryos rescued with Duf flag, Duf ΔCT1-flag, Duf ΔCT2-flag and Duf 4 phos-flag (arrow) but not with Duf ΔCT3-flag

Also, conserved putative phosphorylation signalling sites function additively resulting in efficient myoblast fusion and the formation of a mature myotube.

-
As has been suggested in the case of Rols, Loner too might serve to regulate Duf at the surface of the myotube through as yet unknown mechanisms.

Arrow indicates Rols at the site of FCM-precursor/myotube contact.

That the functions of Duf cannot be attributed to particular motifs might be a strategy utilised to ensure that normal myotube development occurs in a robust manner and compromising the function of any of these motifs singly, does not drastically affect the overall process.

-
In the later phase of fusion, Rols and Loner appear to sustain fusion by interacting with and translocating Duf to the surface of the myotube

B16-F10 cells display two distinctive features in response to co-culturing with myogenic cells: the absence of melanin production and the acquisition of a myotube-like morphology.

Staining of the myotube-like elongated B16-GFP cells with myogenic markers (MyoD and MF20) confirmed the fusion and incorporation of melanoma cells into myotubes.

-
Events are repeated in a stepwise manner first leading to the formation of a bi/trinucleate precursor, followed by more such rounds of fusion, accompanied by growth at the ends of the myotube.
