Correction: The N-terminus and Phe52 residue of LC3 recruit p62/SQSTM1 into autophagosomes.

There were errors in J. Cell Sci. (2008) 121, 2685-2695 (doi:10.1242/jcs.026005). The authors wish to correct errors in Figs 2B, 3B, 5A and 6A, and they have provided the original image data for these experiments.In Fig. 2B, an image splice made to exclude a lane from the silver-stained gel was not marked in the figure. The corrected panel is shown below.In Fig. 3B, image splicing to remove a lane from the western blots resulted in the appearance of some bands being altered, and the image splice was incorrectly applied to the anti-p62 western blot of cell extracts, resulting in mislabelling of lanes for that blot. The corrected panel, which uses an alternative film exposure of the original western blot, is shown below.In Fig. 5A, an image splice to remove lanes was not marked, and the image splice was incorrectly applied to the anti-actin blot, resulting in mislabelling of lanes for that blot. The authors have confirmed that the western blot quantification in Fig. 5B is unaffected by these errors in figure assembly. The corrected panel for Fig. 5A is shown below.In Fig. 6A, lanes from the anti-actin blot in Fig. 5A were incorrectly presented as the anti-actin control blot. Additionally, image splices were inconsistently applied in the anti-ubiquitin (UB) and anti-p62 blots, resulting in incorrect bands being shown for the ubiquitin control siRNA lane and both p62 lanes. The authors confirm that the western blot quantification in Fig. 6A is unaffected by these errors in figure assembly. The corrected panel is shown below.The authors apologise to readers for these errors, which do not impact the results or conclusions of the article.
