Amino acid replacement: I342A.
Encodes an analogue-sensitive form of the aPKC kinase; the kinase activity of the encoded protein can be specifically inhibited by addition of the 1NA-PP1 ATP analogue, while in the absence of this analogue aPKCas4 flies are viable and fertile (in vitro experiments also show that in the absence of the analogue, a protein carrying the two mutations found in aPKCas4 has comparable kinase activity as the wild-type protein).
Amino acid replacement: T405A.

Upon application of 1NA-PP1 in ex vivo preparations, aPKCas4/aPKCas4 follicle cells, embryonic and larval neuroblasts show cell polarity defects, paralleled by the mechanical constriction of entire egg chambers, embryonic epithelium, eye discs and larval neuroepithelium. Unlike wild-type controls, the orientation of the division plane is highly variable between cell cycles in treated larval neuroblasts.
