Following allegations of image manipulation in Figure 3B of the above article (1) a corrigendum was published in 2014 (2). After allegations of image manipulation in Figure 1B were raised in 2021, the Editors of Nucleic Acids Research investigated again and are now retracting the article after having determined Lane 2 has been altered by partly copying Lane 1 and manually adding some bands.
According to COPE guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/), the Editors are therefore retracting the article from Nucleic Acids Research and have informed the institution.
