Replacement by Drosophila melanogaster Protamines and Mst77F of Histones during Chromatin Condensation in Late Spermatids and Role of Sesame in the Removal of These Proteins from the Male Pronucleus

Volume 25, no. 14, p. 6165-6177, 2005. Page 6174, Fig. 7: Upon reanalyzing the male pronucleus in sesame mutant embryos, we obtained results that differed from the ones published. ProtamineA-enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) and ProtamineB-eGFP are removed normally in sesame mutants as shown below, and results are as shown previously for Mst77F-eGFP; thus, Fig. 7G to L should appear as shown below. The additional experiments concerning Mst77F-eGFP in the male pronucleus in sesame mutants confirmed our previous results; a better picture is shown in panel K. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by our error in identification of the male pronucleus in sesame mutant embryos.

Page 6174, Fig. 7 legend, lines 1 and 2: “dependent on” should read “independent of,” and “while loss of Mst77F is independent of Sesame” should be deleted.

Page 6174, Fig. 7 legend, line 8: “contains” should read “containing.”

Page 6174, Fig. 7 legend, line 10: “not degraded in” should read “removed from.”

Page 6174, Fig. 7 legend, line 12: “In the male pronucleus (m) ProtamineA-eGFP persists” should read “ProtamineA-eGFP is removed.”

Page 6174, Fig. 7 legend, lines 13 and 14: “In the male pronucleus (m) ProtamineB-eGFP persists” should read “ProtamineB-eGFP is removed.”
