Correction: Conserved mRNA-granule component Scd6 targets Dhh1 to repress translation initiation and activates Dcp2-mediated mRNA decay in vivo (PLOS Genetics, (2018), 14, 12, 10.1371/journal.pgen.1007806)

Abstract

The authors wish to state that the original version of Fig 6A and its legend contain several errors regarding the Scd6 amino acids present in the three Scd6-MS2-F constructs. Specifically, Scd6-MS2-F (top construct) contains all Scd6 amino acids from residues 1 to 349, ΔLSm-Scd6-MS2-F (middle construct) lacks amino acids 3–78 near its N-terminus, and ΔRGG-Scd6-MS2-F (lower panel) lacks amino acids 287–318 near its C-terminus. The correct version of Fig 6 and its legend are provided below. (Figure presented.) In addition, fully annotated DNA sequences of the complete DNA fragments encoding the fusion proteins present in plasmids pQZ127 (Scd6-MS2-F), pQZ139 (ΔLSm-Scd6-MS2-F), and pQZ142 (ΔRGG-Scd6-MS2-F) are provided in S1 Appendix. These corrections do not influence the corresponding results of experiments employing these plasmids and the expressed chimeric proteins. We wish to apologize for any difficulties these errors may have caused. Supporting information S1 Appendix DNA sequences of SCD6 constructs. Fully annotated DNA sequences of the complete DNA fragments encoding the fusion proteins present in plasmids described in the correct version of Fig 6A, and the multiple sequence alignment delimiting the Scd6 LSm and RGG domains.
