One of the proteins in S.pombe that I am working on is tagged with FLAG, so can I still call this strain as wild type as it contains a fragment of foreign DNA? If no, what is the right term for it?
No, you created an allele. That said, you should give it an allele number (according the yeast nomencleature) and thats how you will call it.
The FLAG-tag is attached to the wild-type sequence; the FLAG-tag does not modify the wild-type sequence. Hence: "FLAG-tagged wild-type protein".
Hi there,
it's not wt anymore as it is genetically modified though its phenotype might still be wt.
I have came across a paper where they observed a delay timing of a drug inhibitory effect and insulin stimulatory effect respectively on purine synthesis, and thus, they suspected that the...

If overexpression of protein A can rescue the growth defect caused by mutation in protein B, can I consider protein A is working downstream of protein B? If yes, why is it so?
