Superficially wild-type. Note that double homozygous mutants of pkc-3(it309) with par-2(it315) exhibited partially penetrant and variable maternal effect lethality and maternal effect sterility that was stronger than it315 alone. Thus, although the GFP tag on pkc-3 shows no effect in an otherwise wild-type background, it does seem to somewhat compromise the activity of the protein it tags. Made in N2 background.

par-2(it315) exhibits a weak maternal effect sterility, suggesting that the tag reduces the protein activity. Note, however, that double homozygous mutants of it315 with pkc-3(it309) or par-6(it310) exhibited partially penetrant and variable maternal effect lethality and maternal effect sterility that was stronger than it315 alone. Thus, although the GFP tags on pkc-3 and par-6 show no effect in an otherwise wild-type background, they do seem to somewhat compromise the activity of the proteins they tag. Made in N2 background.
