Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9025, published online 13 August 2018.

This Article contains an error in the first sentence of the ‘KIF1A purification and labelling’ section of the Methods, which incorrectly reads ‘A construct containing the first 382 residues of KIF1A with a His-tag and a Cys residue in the N-terminal, was kindly provided by N. Hirokawa (University of Tokyo, Japan; see ref. 13).’ This should say ‘C-terminus’ instead of ‘N-terminus’. The error has not been fixed in the PDF or HTML versions of the Article.
