*4.6. Western Blots*

Western blots were conducted using the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-AC3 (ab14778, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), rabbit anti-AC7 (ab14782, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and rabbit anti-AC9 (ab191423, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The secondary antibodies used were: goa<sup>t</sup> anti-rabbit HRP labeled (1:60,000, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA); and goa<sup>t</sup> anti-mouse HRP labeled (1:60,000, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA). Proteins of interest were detected using ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) and Fusion Fx7 imager (MBI Lab Equipment, Kirkland, QC, Canada). Quantification of immunoblots was performed by densitometry using ImageJ software (from Wayne Rasband, National Institute of Health (NIH), USA).
