There was an error in J. Cell Sci. (2017) 130, 938-949 (doi:10.1242/jcs.199091).
The authors incorrectly stated on p. 946 in the Materials and Methods that the Ttll3−/− strain was developed as described by Rocha et al. (2014). However, they actually used two strains, the one described in Rocha et al. (2014) and a new one that was generated by excising exon 6. The corrected text for the first paragraph of the Materials and Methods is as follows.
Animal experimentation
All wild-type control mice used in our experiments were C57BL/6 mice (Janvier-Europe). For experiments in mice lacking the TTLL3 gene, we used either the Ttll3 mutant mice [European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA); mouse strain B6;B6-Ttll3<tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi>/Wtsi)] (Rocha et al., 2014), or Ttll3−/− mice. The latter were generated in two steps. First, we excised the lacZ-neomycin cassette in vivo by crossing B6;B6-Ttll3<tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi>/Wtsi) mice with a Flp-deleter line (C57BL/6N genetic background FLP under ACTB promoter), generating the Ttll3flox/flox strain. Next, we excised the exon 6 of Ttll3flox/flox mice by crossing them to mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of a PGK promoter (Lallemand et al., 1998), thus generating the Ttll3−/− strain.
