Correction to: Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy https://doi.org/10.1038/s41392-021-00825-8, published online 20 December 2021

After online publication of the article1, the authors noticed some of the chemical structures in Fig. 1 are nonstandard forms that need to be corrected. The correct figure is provided as follows. At the same time, an author’s name is incorrectly written. The author of “Huikuan Lin” should be “Hui-Kuan Lin”. We also noticed a mistake in the sentence “The covalent attachment of glycans to proteins and lipids is called protein glycosylation, which is a common contribution to structure and modification diversity in eukaryotes” in the “O-GlcNAcylation” section of page 6 line 45-47, which should be “The covalent attachment of glycans to proteins is called protein glycosylation, which is a common contribution to structure and modification diversity”. The key findings of the article are not affected by these corrections.

The original article has been corrected.
