## Abstract Over several years, genetic studies in the model system, __Drosophila melanogastor__, have uncovered genes that when mutated, lead to a block in myoblast fusion. Analyses of these gene products have suggested that Arp2/3‐mediated regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is crucial to myobla
## Abstract During myogenesis in __Drosophila__ embryos, a prominent adhesive structure is formed between precursor cells and fusion‐competent myoblasts (fcms). Here, we show that Duf/Kirre and its interaction partners Rols7 (found in founder myoblasts and growing myotubes) and Sns (found in fcms)
