After publication of this article [1], concerns were raised regarding Figs 1, 2, 6 and S1, specifically, the following panels appear similar to each other:

• The β-actin panels in Fig 1D and Fig S1A
• The β-actin panels in Fig 2D and Fig S1B
• The Mcl-1 panels in Fig 6B

The corresponding author stated that the β-actin panels in Fig 1D and Fig S1A, and in Fig 2D and Fig S1B, were intentionally repeated as the data are from the same experiments, where the full set of blots for each experiment with the corresponding actin blot were split between the main article [1] and Supporting Information. The underlying blots for Figs 1D, 2D, S1A and S1B are provided here in S6 and S8 Files. The corresponding author also stated that the Mcl-1 panels in Fig 6B were duplicated in error but that they do not know if either of these panels are correct given that the underlying data for Fig 6B are no longer available. They provided repeat data for Fig 6B from later experiments in S3–S4 Files, which were reviewed by a member of the PLOS One Editorial Board.

The corresponding author also stated that for Figure 1C, the ΔΔCt (ddCt) method for fold calculation in qPCR was used, Relative PUMA refers to -ΔΔCt, and “2 de mi” refers to fold conversion as 2^-ΔΔCt.

The corresponding author provided the available underlying data supporting other published results (S1–S3 and S5–S8 Files).
