Corrigendum: A Novel RNA Editing Sensor Tool and a Specific Agonist Determine Neuronal Protein Expression of RNA-Edited Glycine Receptors and Identify a Genomic APOBEC1 Dimorphism as a New Genetic Risk Factor of Epilepsy

In the original article, there was an error. The incorrect oligonucleotide sequences were provided.

A correction has been made to the Methods, subsection PCR-RFLP Analysis of Human TLE Samples:

“Resected hippocampal tissue of human iTLE patients (Eichler et al., 2008) was analyzed with regard to APOBEC1 gene dimorphism coding for 80M or 80I Apobec-1 protein variants. For this purpose, we developed a new PCR-based RFLP approach. Total RNA was isolated and reverse transcribed into cDNA as described earlier (Raltschev et al., 2016). Pre-amplification of Apobec-1 was performed using oligonucleotides 5′-CTTCAACCGGTGACCCCACTC-3′ and 5′-TGCGTACAACATCATCCACAGAGG-3′. Then, 3.5 μl of the pre-PCR were investigated in another PCR using oligonucleotides 5′-GAGTTTGACGTCTTCTATGACCC-3′ and 5′-GTTGACAAAATTCCTCCAGCAG-3′ to amplify a region spanning the 80M/I-coding position. This nested PCR amplification step yielded sufficient amount of DNA that was purified with Monarch® DNA Gel Extraction Kit (catalog no. L1020L, New England Biolabs GmbH) and digested using NlaIII restriction enzyme. NlaIII cuts at the 80M-coding position (CATG), and restriction fragments were separated using electrophoresis with 5% agarose gels to identify the genotype of the iTLE patients. For control purpose, Apobec-1 80I- or 80M-coding vectors for transfection were processed in parallel. Ethidium bromide was used to stain DNA bands.”
