To aid the visualisation of overexpressed proteins, immunoblots were probed with either the 8 mouse anti-penta-His-HRP conjugated antibody (#34460, Qiagen) (room temperature, 1.5 h) or the mouse 9 anti-HA antibody (#MMA-101P, Covance) (room temperature, 1.5 h) with the horse anti-mouse-HRP- 10 conjugated secondary antibody (#7076S, Cell Signalling Technology) (room temperature, 1 h). 11 Visualisation of the immunoblots was achieved using a LAS3000 imager (Fujifilm). 12 13 2 1 SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES 2 Table S1.
