In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 4 as published. The Col-0 image in Figure 4C was mistakenly duplicated as the ATL2C138AOX7-5 image. The corrected Figure 4 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 4. Requirement of ATL2 E3 ligase activity for disease response to A. brassicicola. (A) The activity of ATL2 E3 is dependent on the presence of the Cys138 residue in the RING domain. To analyze self-ubiquitination assays of MBP-ATL2 or MBP-ATL2C138A proteins in the presence of rabbit E1, human E2, and Ub, Western blot analyses were conducted using anti-MBP and anti-Ub antibodies. Arrows denote the non-ubiquitinated forms of the proteins. (B) RT-PCR analysis of ATL2 transcripts of Col-0, ATL2C138AOX2-1-, and ATL2C138AOX7-5-overexpressing plants. ACTIN2 was used as a loading control. (C) The presence of the C138A mutation in the RING domain of ATL2 is necessary for a disease response to A. brassicicola. Photographs of the leaves of Col-0, ATL2OX4-1-, ATL2C138AOX2-1-, and ATL2C138AOX7-5-overexpressing plants post-infection with A. brassicicola are shown. Detached leaves from 6-week-old plants were inoculated with a 5 µL droplet of A. brassicicola spores (approximately 5 × 105 spores/mL), and photographs were taken 6 days after inoculation. The white arrows indicate inoculated regions. (D) Size of lesions in A. brassicicola infected Col-0, ATL2OX4-1-, ATL2C138AOX2-1-, and ATL2C138AOX7-5-overexpressing plant leaves. Lesion size was measured at 6 days after inoculation. (E) Trypan blue staining showing fungal hyphae of A. brassicicola on Arabidopsis leaves; Col-0, ATL2OX4-1, ATL2C138AOX2-1, and ATL2C138AOX7-5. Scale bars = 50 µm. (F) Measurement of spore numbers in lesions. The spore numbers in lesions were measured by collecting total spores from detached inoculated leaves and counting them microscopically at 6 days after inoculation. The data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 3), with ** p < 0.005, and *** p < 0.001 indicating the significance level. In panels D and F, the p-value indicates the significance relative to the A. brassicicola treatment at wild-type (Col-0) plants and was determined and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8 via two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison. n.s represents not significant. These experiments were repeated three times (biological replicates) with similar results.
