RETRACTION

Volume 79, no. 3, p. 1569–1580, 2005, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.79.3.1569-1580.2005. It has been called to our attention that the bands highlighted in Fig. 2A and 3D in Journal of Biological Chemistry 278:40778–40787, 2003, https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M303248200 (article retracted), were reused in Fig. 1E and 4A. Unfortunately, the laboratory no longer has the original data nor the corresponding lab notes. We cannot therefore say with certainty that the data were wrongly duplicated or manipulated. Given the circumstances, we retract this paper.
