GFP circularization assays were performed in a manner similar to that previously described (Strijbis et al. 2012 (link)). In short, HEK293T cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-Gly-GFP-LPETG-Myc along with empty pUC19 (Control), pcDNA3.1-HA-S. pyogenese SrtA, or pcDNA3.1-HA-R15-78 using Lipofectamine2000 according to manufacturer instructions. 24 hrs later the cells were lysed in 1X SDS-PAGE loading dye, boiled for 10 min, and run on a 12% polyacrylamide gel. The gel was then transferred onto nitrocellulose paper and probed with anti-GFP-HRP (Stefanovic and Hegde 2007 (link)) or an anti-HA (Abcam 18181) followed by anti-mouse or anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA). The blots were then incubated with SuperSignal West Pico (Pierce, Rockford Il) chemiluminescent substrate according to manufacturer instructions and exposed on Crystalgen blue sensitive film.
