Summary
An error in Figure 2e of a scientific article has been corrected. The conclusions remain unaffected, and the corrected figure is available in the associated author correction.
Area of Science:
- Cell biology
- Molecular oncology
Context:
- A previous version of the article contained an error in Figure 2e.
- The error involved the incorrect replacement of a T47D cell image in the shMSI2 treatment group.
Purpose:
- To correct an error in Figure 2e of a published article.
- To ensure the accuracy of presented data and maintain scientific integrity.
Summary:
- The article's Figure 2e contained an error where the 6th colony image of T47D cells treated with shMSI2 was mistakenly replaced with a duplicate of the 7th image.
- This error did not impact the overall conclusions of the study.
- A corrected version of the figure is provided in the associated Author Correction.
Impact:
- Ensures the scientific record is accurate.
- Allows readers to refer to the correct figure for data interpretation.
- Maintains trust in the published research findings.

02:13Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators
7.3K
Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome. Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

11.0K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

02:58Regulated Protein Degradation
8.8K
It is vital to regulate the activity of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic proteins inside the cell. This can be achieved either through creating a balance between their rate of synthesis and degradation or regulating the intrinsic activity of the protein. Both these regulation mechanisms play an essential role in the normal functioning of cells.
Protein degradation plays two important roles in the cells. It helps to protect cells from misfolded or damaged proteins before they lead to a...

02:04Covalently Linked Protein Regulators
9.5K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.

01:21G-protein Coupled Receptors
132.0K
G-protein coupled receptors are ligand binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that transverses the cell membrane seven times creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops holds onto the G-protein.
