Molecular Cell is retracting this paper at the request of the Regents of the University of California, Riverside and author Frank Sauer, following correspondence that the editors received from the University and Sauer. This request followed allegations that were subsequently investigated by the Committee on Privilege and Tenure at the University of California, Riverside. The Committee concluded that in Figure S1C of the paper, gel bands were removed to create the image that was submitted for publication. The Committee further concluded that this manipulation constituted data falsification and fabrication as well as a significant departure from the accepted practices of Sauer’s research community.
