Hcp western blots were performed as previously described34 (link). Briefly, supernatants and whole cell samples were obtained from mid-log bacterial cultures. Samples were resuspended in 1X Laemmli buffer and loaded in a 12% polyacrylamide gel for separation. The mouse anti-Hcp54 (link) and rabbit anti-RNA polymerase (#663104, Biolegend, San Diego, CA) were both used at a concentration of 1:1000. Secondary IR dye antibodies from Licor were used at 1:10,000 (IRDye 800 CW goat anti-rabbit 926-32211 and IRDye 680 RD goat anti-mouse 925-68070). All blots were blocked in TBS blocking buffer (Licor).
