• The ERK1/2 panels in Figs. 2B, 2D (with horizontal stretching), 3B, 4B, and 5A (with horizontal rotation)

• The ERK1/2 panels in Figs. 2A (lanes 1 and 2) and 2C (lanes 3 and 4), as well as Figs. 2A (lanes 3 and 4) and 3A (lanes 1 and 2; with vertical stretching)

• The PKB³⁰⁸ panels in lane 3 of Fig. 2B and lanes 1 and 4 of Fig. 2D, as well as lanes 1 and 4 of Fig. 2B, lanes 2 and 3 of Fig. 2D, and lane 1 of Fig. 6A

• •Lanes 1–8 of Fig. 2D (PKB), Fig. 5A (PKB), and Fig. 7A (Actin), with horizontal and vertical manipulation of Fig. 7A

• The PKB images in Figs. 2A and 3A, including lanes 3 and 4 vs. lanes 1 and 2 of Fig. 2C (unlabeled)
