<p>To identify our proteins we performed Westen Blots. In a Western Blot proteins can be detected by antibodies. Therefore a first antibody binds specifically to the protein of interest and a second antibody that is specific to the first antibody is added for detection. The second antibody is fused with a reporter enzyme (e.g. horseradish peroxidase) that allows detection of chemiluminescence after treatment with a chemiluminescence agent.</p>

<p>In order to blot proteins a SDS gel electrophoresis was performed and afterwards blotted onto a nitro cellulose membrane. To accomplish this four Whatman filter papers were soaked into membrane buffer and a nitro cellulose membrane, also soaked in membrane buffer, were stacked. On this the SDS gel was placed and covered with with four Whatman filter papers soaked with gel buffer. Then the proteins were transferred with 0.8 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> for two hours.</p>

<p>To prevent unspecific binding of the first antibody, the membrane was rotated for at least one hour in 5 % milk powder in TBST at 4 °C. The primary antibody was dissolved in 2 % milk powder in TBST (dillution: 1:500 anti GFP, anti IgG 1:10,000, all antibodies obtained by Santa Cruz biotechnology) and added to the membrane. Afterwards it was washed two times in TBST for five minutes. The secondary antibody was dissolved in 2 % milk powder in TBST (anti anti GFP 1:10,000, anti anti IgG 1:10,000), added to the membrane and incubated for one hour. Afterwards it was washed with TBST for three times for five minutes each. After incubation with a detection agent, containing Luminol, p-Coumaric acid and H2O2, the detection was performed with a Chemocam Professional from INTAS science imaging. </p>
