Abstract

graphic file with name EMBJ-39-e103976-g001.jpg


An independent study that also reported on a non‐canonical H‐BRCT domain in Sir4 (Faure et al, 2019) was published in February 2019. The Faure study used a different approach and a different analysis than the Deshpande study published in The EMBO Journal in September 2019.

The authors note that Faure et al identified the Sir4 H‐BRCT domain independently and apologize for not citing the paper during the revision process.
