Fluorescent proteins at a glance

Abstract

There was an error published in J. Cell Sci. 124, 157-160.During the course of creating the accompanying poster, pseudocolored fluorescent protein fusion images from previous publications were used to define the layout. Many of these images were inadvertently not replaced with a similar image of the correct fusion in the final published version. This affects the following images from the “Fluorescent protein localization” panel of the poster (note that the identities of the placeholder images are denoted in parentheses): mEGFP-MTS (mWasabi-MTS); mKO2-CAAX (TagRFP-T-annexin); mKO2-GalT (TagRFP-T-GalT); mTurquoise-keratin (mTFP1-keratin); mKO2-LC-clathrin (TagRFP-T-clathrin); mVenus-paxillin (mWasabi-paxillin); mTagBFP-calreticulin (mTFP1-calreticulin). In assembling the correction, the following raw images could not be located and thus shown here are newly acquired images: mTagBFP-lamin B1; mCherry-α-tubulin; mKate2-β-actin.The correct images and labels are as follows:The authors apologise for this error.A corrected version of the poster is available for downloading here. http://jcs.biologists.org/content/124/2/157/suppl/DC2A similar error arose in a previous publication, and an inquiry and investigation have been conducted by Michael Davidson's institution. It was determined that the problems with the figures were not the result of deliberate alterations of data to support the scientific conclusions of the publications.
