Cell Biology. In the article “Identification of a family of low-affinity insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs): Characterization of connective tissue growth factor as a member of the IGFBP superfamily” by Ho-Seong Kim, Srinivasa R. Nagalla, Youngman Oh, Elizabeth Wilson, Charles T. Roberts, Jr., and Ron G. Rosenfeld, which appeared in number 24, November 25, 1997, of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (94, 12981–12986), the authors request that the following corrections be noted. In Fig. 8, the units on the scale should indicate the number of substitution events, rather than “million years.” The lengths of the branches represent the relative distance between the sequences of mammalian IGFBPs compared in this figure. In the Discussion, the statement “The dendogram depicted in Fig. 8 indicates that, based upon structural similarities, all ten members of the superfamily can be traced back to an ancestor gene 60 million years ago” should read: “The dendogram depicted in Fig. 8 indicates that all ten members of the superfamily share a common ancestral gene based upon their sequence similarities.”
