An author error has been discovered that affects Figure 2 on pages 850 and 851 in the RESULTS section. Part of the sequence of the 3' noncoding region of the AtPTP cDNA depicted in Figure 1 appears to be derived from a different cDNA that has become fused to that of AtPTP1. This discrepancy is indicated by genomic sequence analysis (Fordham-Skelton et al. 1998 
; EMBL accession number AJ006309) and an updated database analysis performed by the authors. The sequence of the coding region of the AtPTP1 cDNA is not affected. However, because the DNA gel blot in Figure 2 (page 851) was performed using the entire cDNA insert as a probe, it may reflect the banding pattern of two different genes. The corrected Figure 2 appears below, and an amended sequence (containing the first 1.26 kb of the original cDNA clone) has been placed in GenBank under the original accession number (AF055635).

Figure 2.
DNA Blot Analysis of AtPTP1.
Total genomic DNA from Arabidopsis plants (ecotype Columbia) was digested with BamHI (lane 1), BgIII (lane 2), EcoRI (lane 3), and HindIII (lane 4), respectively. The coding region of the AtPTP1 cDNA was used as a probe. The lengths (in kilobases) of DNA size markers are shown at right.
