RETRACTION: M. L. Panno , F. Giordano , F. Mastroianni , M. G. Palma , V. Bartella , A. Carpino , S. Aquila , and S. Andò , “,” FEBS Letters 584 , no. ( 2010 ): 2321 – 2326 , https://doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2010.04.001 . The above article, published online on 04 April 2010 in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Michael Brunner; FEBS Press; and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation prompted by concerns raised by a third party. The investigation identified inappropriate duplications of image sections in Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C; Figure 3B; as well as in Supplementary Figures S1B, S1C, and S2A. The authors’ explanation and the data provided by the authors—pertaining to a different set of experiments conducted under the same treatment conditions—were found to be insufficient to resolve these concerns. The extent and nature of the inconsistencies identified in the published figures raised significant concerns regarding the data. As a result, the editors no longer have confidence in the integrity of the presented data and consider the study's conclusions to be compromised. The authors do not agree with this retraction.
