In the published article, there was an error. The concentrations of click reaction components were inadvertently reported as 10-fold higher than actually used for labeling experiments using purified recombinant DXPS.
A correction has been made to “4.4 General protocol for DXPS labeling by 1”. This sentence previously stated:
“Solutions were cooled to ambient temperature, and a 7.5x CuAAC reaction stock (4 uL, prepared immediately prior to addition) was added to achieve final concentrations of 1 mM tris ((1-benzyl-4-triazolyl)methyl)amine (TBTA), 10 mM CuSO4, and 10 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Solutions were cooled to ambient temperature, and a 7.5x CuAAC reaction stock (4 uL, prepared immediately prior to addition) was added to achieve final concentrations of 0.1 mM tris ((1-benzyl-4-triazolyl)methyl)amine (TBTA), 1 mM CuSO4, and 1 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP).”
In the published article, there was an error. The concentrations of click reaction components were inadvertently reported as 10-fold higher than actually used in experiments to label DXPS in bacterial lysate.
A correction has been made to “4.6 Detection of DXPS in complex bacterial lysate”, subsection “4.6.2 Labeling of DXPS by 1 in lysate”, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:
“A 7.5× CuAAC reaction stock (1 mM TBTA, 10 mM CuSO4, and 10 mM TCEP) was prepared and 4 μL was added to each sample followed by addition of TAMRA-azide (6 μL of a 5 mM stock in DMSO).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“A 7.5× CuAAC reaction stock was prepared and 4 μL was added to each sample (to achieve final concentrations of 0.1 mM TBTA, 1 mM CuSO4, and 1 mM TCEP), followed by addition of TAMRA-azide (6 μL of a 5 mM stock in DMSO).”
The original article has been updated.
