Author Correction: Endophilin marks and controls a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway

"It was brought to our attention via a comment in PubPeer that images in Extended Data Fig. 1c, Extended Data Fig. 1i and Extended Data Fig. 7k in our paper contain duplicated sub-panels. After extensive internal investigation of the source data (raw, uncropped immunoblots and microscopy images), we can confirm that figure preparation errors (copy-pasting placeholder images without updating them with correct panels) were responsible for the mistakes. The errors are in presentation only, and do not affect our scientific conclusions."

"The immunoblots for the mAchR4 TIL R230E and the mAchR4 TIL P331E mutants were the same (see Supplementary Information: Correction Fig. 1). The duplication was most likely introduced upon copy-pasting of a sub-panel to be used as a template/placeholder for a subsequent sub-panel. Unfortunately, the swap with the relevant image for one of the mutants was forgotten, leaving the duplication error. Inspection of the original, uncropped, immunoblot scans revealed that the one for the mAchR4 TIL R230E mutant was the duplicate, and that for the mAchR4 TIL P331E mutant was genuine (see Supplementary Information: Correction Fig. 1)."

"The duplicate image has been replaced by a correct representative immunoblot for the mAchR4 TIL R230E mutant (Supplementary Information: Correction Figs. 1 and 2). This correction does not affect our scientific conclusions as both mAchR4 TIL R230E and mAchR4 TIL P331E mutants were pulled down by the Endo A2 SH3 domain. The XY confocal microscopy images for control and Endo TKD were the same (Supplementary Information: Correction Fig. 3). As above, the duplication was most likely introduced upon a similar copy-pasting of a sub-panel to be used as a template/placeholder for a subsequent one."

Images in Extended Data Figs. 1c, 1i and 7k contained duplicated sub-panels caused by figure preparation copy‑paste errors using placeholder images. An internal investigation of raw, uncropped immunoblots and microscopy images identified specific duplications. The immunoblots for mAchR4 TIL R230E and mAchR4 TIL P331E were identical; uncropped scans showed R230E was the duplicate and P331E genuine, and the duplicate was replaced with the correct R230E immunoblot. The duplication does not affect conclusions because both mutants were pulled down by the Endo A2 SH3 domain. The XY confocal images for control and Endo TKD were also duplicated, likely for the same reason.
