Withdrawal: Serotonin transamidates Rab4 and facilitates its binding to the C terminus of serotonin transporter. [Withdrawals/Retractions] (Journal of Biological Chemistry)

VOLUME 283 (2008) PAGES 9388-9398This article has been withdrawn by Resat Unal, Vladimir V. Lupashin, Peter van der Sluijs, and Fusun Kilic. Despite attempts, Billow A. Ahmed, Brandon C. Jeffus, Syed I. A. Bukhari, and Justin T. Harney could not be reached. Dr. Kilic contacted the editorial office to report a concern raised in the figures of this article. An investigation by the Journal determined the following. In Fig. 3, lanes 3, 4, and 5 were duplicated. In Fig. 4, lanes 1-2 and lanes 5-6 of the SERT immunoblot from the lysate were duplicated. Additionally, in the same figure, lanes 1-2 of the Rab4 immunoblot were reused in lanes 3-4 and 5-6. The SERT immunoblot from lysate in Fig. 4 was reused in Fig. 6A as SERT. In Fig. 5, lane 2 of the lower SERT immunoblot showing surface expression of SERT was reused in lane 1 of both SERT immunoblots showing intracellular expression of SERT. Additionally, lane 2 of the SERT immunoblots showing intracellular expression of SERT are duplicates. In Fig. 6A, lanes 3-5 of the Rab4 immunoblot from lysate are duplicates. Finally, in Fig. 8E, lanes 1-2 and lanes 6-7 were reused in lanes 8-9 and 11-12, respectively. Due to the dated materials, the authors could not provide all of the original immunoblots, but they state that the immunoblots were not reused during the preparation of this manuscript.
