Author Correction: CasX enzymes comprise a distinct family of RNA-guided genome editors (Nature, (2019), 566, 7743, (218-223), 10.1038/s41586-019-0908-x)

Abstract

In this Article, there are issues concerning the tracing of the first 30 nucleotides within the single-guide RNA (sgRNA), which after careful inspection we conclude run in the opposite direction. We have fixed this error and used the opportunity to improve small segments of the CasX protein modelled in poorly defined peripheral regions. After revising the Protein Data Bank (PDB) coordinates, some minor changes were made to Figs. 3, 4 and Extended Data Fig. 6. The original and corrected Figs. 3, 4 and Extended Data Fig. 6 are shown as Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of this Amendment, for comparison and transparency. The corrected models (for the different states) have new PDB accession codes that should supersede the previous ones. As a result, the ‘Data availability’ statement and Supplementary Table 1 of the original Article, which contain the PDB accession information, have also been updated. In the ‘Data availability’ section, PDB codes 6E5O, 6E7A and 6E79 have been corrected to 6NY1, 6NY2 and 6NY3. In addition, the sgRNA cartoons have been updated in Supplementary Video 1 (the original video is shown as Supplementary Information to this Amendment, for transparency). None of these changes affects the conclusions of the Article, and the original Article has been corrected online.(Figure presented.).
