When the gene encoding a certain cellular kinase is deleted, the resulting mutant cells arrest in the cell cycle and do not divide. These mutants can be rescued when a gene encoding an N-terminal GFP fusion of the protein is expressed, but not when a gene encoding a C-terminal GFP fusion is expressed. Which fusion protein is appropriate to use in studying cellular localization and activity? Explain why.
