Following publication of this article [1], the PLOS ONE Editors received notification that an internal investigation conducted by the University of Maryland, Baltimore found that in Fig 2B, the histogram with the group data for I-κB super-repressor (SR) is a duplicate of the histogram in Fig 2A for the BAY11-7085-treated cells with a change of a label, calling into question the reliability of the results. A recommendation was made to retract the article in order to correct the scientific record and ensure its integrity.

In light of the findings and recommendation of the institutional investigation, the PLOS ONE Editors retract this article.

PP and JRB agreed with the retraction. Y-HY, HZ, and NOB could not be reached.
