arTi85 [lin-31p::ERK::KTR::mClover::T2A::mCherry::his-11::unc-54 3'UTR + rps-27p::NeoR::unc-54 3'UTR]. Superficially wild-type. arTi85 transgene is a single-copy transposon insertion expressing a fluorescent protein (ERK::KTR::mClover) that reports MPK-1 kinase activity in vulval precursor cells (VPCs). A nuclear histone marker is co-expressed (mCherry::H2B). Reference: de la Cova C, et al. Developmental Cell. 2017 Vol. 42(5):542-553.

arTi101 [lin-31p::ERK::KTR(S43A, T55A, S62A)::mClover::T2A::mCherry::his-11::unc-54 3'UTR + rps-27p::NeoR::unc-54 3'UTR]. Superficially wild-type. arTi101 transgene is a single-copy transposon insertion expressing a mutant, unphosphorylated form of a fluorescent protein (ERK::KTR::mClover) that reports MPK-1 kinase activity in vulval precursor cells (VPCs). A nuclear histone marker is co-expressed (mCherry::H2B). Use arTi101 as a negative control for transgene arTi85. Reference: de la Cova C, et al. Developmental Cell. 2017 Vol. 42(5):542-553.
