Correction to: Nature Chemical Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-018-0071-y, published online 18 June 2018.

In the version of this article initially published, authors Sarah E. Wilkins, Charlotte D. Eaton, Martine I. Abboud and Maximiliano J. Katz were incorrectly included in the equal contributions footnote in the affiliations list. Footnote number seven linking to the equal contributions statement should be present only for Suzana Markolovic and Qinqin Zhuang, and the statement should read “These authors contributed equally: Suzana Markolovic, Qinqin Zhuang.” The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
