title: Response to perspective: "separation anxiety: an analysis of ethylene-induced cleavage of EIN2".
abstract: Cooper questions one specific technical aspect of our study - the site of cleavage in EIN2 - and suggests that cleavage of EIN2 likely occurs elsewhere. Here, we explain how our immunoblotting, mass spectrometry and genetic mutation studies justify our conclusions.
