Correction to: Nature Chemical Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-022-01014-6, published online 28 April 2022.

In the version of the article originally published, the gene “MET6” from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was incorrectly presented as “EcMET6” from Escherichia coli in Fig. 5a,b labels and caption; in Extended Data Fig. 2 and Extended Data Fig. 8a labels and caption; in Supplementary Fig. 4a label and caption; and in Supplementary Data 2. The MET2-related reaction equation was drawn incorrectly in Fig. 5a (the arrow now correctly flows from “Homoserine” to “O-acetyl-homoserine”). Further, the sequences of three genes (MET6, MTFHR chimera1, and LiMETK1) and the source of SeHPAC were incorrectly listed in Supplementary Data 3. Additionally, the stand-alone Supplementary Data 1–7 files were originally listed as Supplementary Tables 1–5 and Supplementary Data 1, 2. The errors have been corrected in the Supplementary Information and HTML and PDF versions of the article.
