This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors following evidence of data duplication. Specifically, the two panels in Figure 3B are identical after level/contrast/brightness adjustments and a band has been pasted in lane 5 of the left panel. A corrigendum was recently published for the same article (1) to disclose duplication of panels in Figure 5D. The Authors and Editors no longer have confidence in the data and are jointly publishing this Retraction notice to alert readers that the article contains flawed data and the findings and conclusions cannot be relied upon. The matter has been reported to the relevant authorities at the institution for investigation.

The Corresponding Author takes full responsibility for a failure to follow proper quality control over the production, validation and dissemination of that data. All Authors agree with the retraction and the information provided in this notice.
