Erratum

The fourth sentence of the abstract of the report "The elav gene product of Drosophila, required in neurons, has three RNP consensus motifs" by S. Robinow et al. (16 Dec., p. 1570), should have read, "DNA sequence data presented in this report suggest that the elav gene product is an RNA binding protein, based on the presence of RNP (ribonucleoprotein) consensus sequences."     

Erratum

In the report "Sequence of 16S ribosomal from Halobacterium volcanii, an archaebacterium" by R. Gupta et al. (12 August, p. 656), the last sentence of the abstract should read: "Since the H. volcanii sequence is closer to both the eubacterial and eukaryotic sequences than these two are to one another, it follows that the archaebacterial sequence is more like the common ancestral sequence than at least one of the other two versions." Also, the sentence beginning on line 6, column 3, page 658, should read: "Although the root of this tree cannot be determined, the data demand that the archaebacterial version be closer to the ancestral version common to all than are one or both of the other two versions."     

Correction

The following sentence was omitted from the acknowledgment section of our report "Independent human MAP kinase signal transduction pathways defined by MEK and MKK isoforms" (3 Feb., p. 682)(1) because of an error. "A. Lin and M. Karin are acknowledged for informing us abut the presence of an upstream in-frame initiation codon in the sequence of human MKK4/JNKK/SEK1 before publication."     

Corrections and clarifications

Table 2 (p. 1127) of the report "Rules for alpha-helix termination by glycine" by R. Aurora et al. (20 May, p. 1126) was incorrectly printed. The corrected table appears below. In the same report, the second sentence of reference 36 should not have appeared. [See table in the PDF file].     

Erratum

In the report "Site-specific nick in the T-DNA border sequence as a result of Agrobacterium vir gene expression" by K. Wang et al. (30 Jan., p. 587), figure 2A on page 588 should have shown a 3.2-kilobase band in lane b that was not visible. Also, 1.9-kilobase bands in lane c and g were not visible. A Print that shows the bands in figure 2, A and B, appears below. In addition, reference 24 should have been to J. L. Slightom, L. Jouanin, F. Leach, R. F. Drong, D. Tepfer, EMBO J. 4, 3069 (1985). [See Table A and B in Source PDF].     

Corrections and clarifications

Note 21 on page 1178 of the report "Mice lacking TdT: Mature animals with an immature lymphocyte repertoire" by S. Gilfillan et al. (27 Aug., p. 1175) should have included the information that the cDNA sequence of mouse TdT was initially obtained by the authors from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (accession number X04123), given in a 1986 paper by O. Koiwai, T. Yokota, T. Kageyama, T. Hirose, S. Yoshida, and K. Arai [Nucleic Acids Res. 14, 5777 (1986)].     

Erratum

In line 7 of the caption for table 1 (p. 1682) of the report "Association of transfer RNA acceptor identity with a helical irregularity" by William H. McClain et al. (23 Dec., p. 1679), ">/=20%" should have been "相似文献   

Erratum

In the title of the report "ACh receptor-rich membrane domains organized in fibroblasts by recombinant 43-kilodalton protein" by W. J. Phillips et al. (1 Feb., p. 568), the word "kilodalton" was misspelled.

In the report "Homozygous human TAP peptide transporter mutation in HLA class I deficiency" by H. de la Salle et al. (8 July, p. 237), figure 2B (p. 239) was printed incorrectly. The correct figure appears below.     

Corrections and clarifications

In the report "A nuclear-encoded form II RuBisCO in dinoflagellates" by D. Morse et al. (16 June, p. 1622), in the seventh line of the first full paragraph in the third column on page 1622, "glysine-cysteine" should have been "guanine-cytosine."     

Erratum

Figure 1 in the report "Muscle fatigue and the role of transverse tubules" by C. P. Bianchi and S. Narayan (15 Jan., p. 296) was inadvertently transposed with figure 2 in the report "Sedimentation field flow fractionation of liposomes" by J. J. Kirkland et al. (p. 297). The figure legends are correct.     

Corrections and clarifications

In figure ID (p. 680) of the report "Genetic decreases in atrial natriuretic peptide and salt-sensitive hypertension" by Simon W. M. John et al. (3 Feb., p. 679), the size bars to the right and left of the Southern blot were not correctly aligned in relation to the dark bands.     

Corrections and clarifications

In the Research News article "Pot, heroin unlock new areas for neuroscience" by Marcia Barinaga (18 Dec., p. 1882), the diagram of the molecule anandamide on page 1883 was incorrect. The correct structure appears on page 1948 of the same issue, in figure 1A of the report "Isolation and structure of a brain constituent that binds to the cannabinoid receptor" by W. A. Devane et al. (p. 1946).

"Human rotavirus type 2: Cultivation in vitro" (11 Jan., p. 189), in the sentence describing the porcine rotavirus plaque reduction test (p. 190, column 3, line 16), the concentration of pancreatin in the agar overlay should have been given as "0.15 percent of 2.5 percen pantreatin 4 x N. F.; Gibco."
