Abstract

Main text(Molecular Cell 54, 999–1011; June 19, 2014) This article has been retracted at the request of the authors. An investigation by the University of Kentucky (UK) recently determined that it contains fabricated and/or falsified data committed by the lead author on the paper. The results of the investigation can be viewed at https://ori.hhs.gov/content/case-summary-jarrett-stuart-g. UK identified that there were duplications and flips of panels in three figures (Figures 7D, 7E, and S3C), and original data could not be retrieved. In Figures 7D and 7E, there are inappropriate loading controls: reuse and relabeling between Figure 7D (no UV) and Figure 7E (+ UV). In Figure S3C, the loading controls for 6-4 PP (second row down) are the same as those for XPA (fourth row down), but are flipped. In both cases, the authors could not recover the original data, since primary data were stored only on a computer associated with a Storm PhosphorImager and were lost when that computer crashed. Thus, this is considered data fabrication, and the authors are retracting the paper. The authors apologize to the scientific community for any inconveniences or challenges resulting from the publication and retraction of this manuscript. Authors Stuart Jarrett and Jillian Vanover could not be reached. The remaining authors agree to the retraction.
