Tsg101 Interacts with Herpes Simplex Virus 1 VP1/2 and Is a Substrate of VP1/2 Ubiquitin-Specific Protease Domain Activity

Abstract

Volume 87, no. 1, [692][693][694][695][696] 2013. Pages 692-696: The authors regretfully retract this article at the request of the Journal of Virology. All the authors take responsibility for mistakes made in the final assembly of the figures, including unacceptable digital manipulation of data in panels of Fig. 1, 2, and 3, as follows:1. In Fig. 1B lower left panel, bands in lanes 1 and 2 were duplicated in lanes 3 and 4 and in Fig. 1B, lower right panel, the band in lane 2 was spliced into the image.2. In Fig. 2C, middle panel, the band in lane 4 was spliced into the gel image.3. In Fig. 2D, middle panel, the band in lane 4 was spliced into the gel image.4. In Fig. 3B, the "tubulin" blot in panel B was copied and pasted from the last three lanes of the "tubulin" blot of panel A and rotated 180 degrees.5. In Fig. 3C, in the area above the bands in the right panel of the left grouping, a gray rectangle was pasted over the image.The editor in chief of the Journal of Virology has reviewed our raw data and has concluded that our original findings are supported, and, more importantly, that the major conclusion of the paper still stands, i.e., that VP1/2 interacts with Tsg101 and modulates the level of
