Using coordinates that manifest the S2-S3 split of the base, we study D3-branes localized on the three-sphere in the Klebanov-Strassler background. We find a numerical solution for the warp factor and show the emergence of the AdS throat near the stack. In the dual gauge theory, this corresponds to an RG flow along the mesonic branch. We demonstrate how the cubic superpotential of the N=4 SYM theory emerges at the end of the RG flow.
