A myristoylation consensus sequence (Tag:Myr(Src64B)) has been fused to the N-terminus of the nkd sequences in nkdNBg.UAS.EGFP.
Expression of nkdNBg.Scer\UAS.T:Myr1,T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4B119 results in females that have a reduced number of sternite bristles on the abdomen.
nkdNBg.UAS.Tag:Myr(Src64B),EGFP/Scer\GAL4da.G32 partially rescues nkd3
Expression of nkdNBg.Scer\UAS.T:Myr1,T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 partially rescues the nkd3 cuticle phenotype.
