BIOCHEMISTRY Correction for “Discovery of novel carbohydrate-active enzymes through the rational exploration of the protein sequences space,” by William Helbert, Laurent Poulet, Sophie Drouillard, Sophie Mathieu, Mélanie Loiodice, Marie Couturier, Vincent Lombard, Nicolas Terrapon, Jeremy Turchetto, Renaud Vincentelli, and Bernard Henrissat, which was first published March 8, 2019; 10.1073/pnas.1815791116 (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 116:6063–6068).
The authors wish to note the following: “We have found small errors in Table 2 and Table 3; these errors do not change the main conclusions of the paper, except that one additional novel family is now listed. A protein was wrongly assigned to GH42_dist in the original Table 2. This protein and its orthologs actually form a family completely different from GH42. The orientation of the glycosidic bond cleaved by this protein is different from that of bona fide GH42 proteins. The protein in question is now removed from corrected Table 2 and is listed as GH164 in corrected Table 3. Additionally, a typo and an incorrect GenBank accession number were also corrected in Table 3. The corrected paper reports on an additional novel GH family of proteins. We apologize for the errors.” The corrected Table 2 and Table 3 appear below.
