UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of amino acids 177-928 of nkd, which are tagged at the N-terminal end with a myristoylation consensus sequence (Tag:Myr(Src64B)), and are also tagged at the C-terminal end with EGFP.
Flies expressing nkdSrcRBg.Scer\UAS.T:Myr1,T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4B119 have an increased number of sternite bristles compared to controls, although the morphology and polarity of the bristles is normal.
nkdSrcRBg.UAS.Tag:Myr(Src64B),EGFP/Scer\GAL4da.G32 fails to rescue nkd3
Expression of nkdSrcRBg.Scer\UAS.T:Myr1,T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in little or no rescue of the nkd3 cuticle phenotype.
