Retraction to: Cell Death & Disease

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-018-0706-7 published online 07 June 2018

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article because there appears to be replication between a group of data points in the 10.95% quadrant of the U/A (VCR) ALG3 shRNA panel of Fig. 3f and a group of data points in the 4.52% quadrant of the T/A (Paxcitaxel) ALG3 shRNA panel of Fig. 3f. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the data in Fig. 3. All of the authors disagree with this retraction.
