The AMP-activated protein kinase AAK-2 links energy levels and insulin-like signals to lifespan in C. elegans …Javier Apfeld, Greg O'Connor, Tom McDonagh, Peter S. DiStefano, and Rory Curtis

In the above-mentioned mentioned paper, on page 3005, there are errors in the following two sentences:

We identified two AMPKα subunit homologs in C. elegans, AAK-1 and AAK-2, which are 52% and 40% identical to human AMPKα1, respectively, and are also related to the invertebrate SNF1 proteins (Fig. 2A; Supplementary Fig. 1). The kinase domains of AAK-1 and AAK-2 share 80% and 71% amino acid identity, respectively, with the kinase domain of the human AMPKα1 subunit, including conservation of a critical threonine residue whose phosphorylation is required for AMPK activation (Hardie and Hawley 2001).

They should instead read:

We identified two AMPKα subunit homologs in C. elegans, AAK-1 and AAK-2, which are 40% and 52% identical to human AMPKα1, respectively, and are also related to the invertebrate SNF1 proteins (Fig. 2A; Supplementary Fig. 1). The kinase domains of AAK-1 and AAK-2 share 71% and 80% amino acid identity, respectively, with the kinase domain of the human AMPKα1 subunit, including conservation of a critical threonine residue whose phosphorylation is required for AMPK activation (Hardie and Hawley 2001).
