Statistical analysis

All experiments were carried out in duplicate with three replicates, with the exception of those shown in Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.9. Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.9 were carried out in duplicate with two replicates. Graphs represent the mean and standard error of the mean (S.E.M) of all experiments, while western blots are representative experiments. All numerical values represent means + S.E.M. For blots, a representative example of the replicates is shown. Statistical significance of the differences was calculated using one way ANOVA and a Holm-Sidak post-hoc comparison to all other treatments in the experiment.
