     Our project could not have reached that far without the help and support of many people. We thank the BIOTEC and TU Dresden for sponsoring us, the Max Planck Institute and the Electron Microscope facility for giving us lab space and facilities to work within.

We would like to thank many people; Andy Oates for his endless support and advice through out the project and for always telling us motivational stories that kept us going forward.

David Drechsler and his lab that provided us with plasmids and advised us on protein purification techniques. Dr. Bachmann for providing us with antibodies and advice on our project.

Thanks to Raik Grünberg, Iva Tolic-Norrelykke, Carsten Werner, Mike Lorenz, Ralf Seidel, Frank Gross, Stefan Grill, Pavel Tomancak for giving us talks and feedbacks on our ideas.

The Electron Microscope Facility crew at the Max Planck Institute, for giving us a wonderful and positive atmosphere to work in, especially Kimberly Moniker for letting us steal her pens.
