Abstract

Correction for ‘Proteomic analysis of the copper resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae’ by Zhong Guo et al., Metallomics, 2015, 7, 448–454.


The sentence on p. 1 beginning ‘Copper resistance in…’ should read ‘Copper resistance in S. pneumoniae is mainly mediated by a single operon encoding a copper-dependent repressor protein (CopY),11 a copper transporting ATPase (CopA)7,12 and a copper metallochaperone (CupA).7

The sentence on p. 1 beginning ‘The third gene…’ should read ‘The third gene encodes a structurally characterized, membrane anchored cupredoxin-fold protein, designated CupA,1 which binds two Cu(I) ions with high affinity and is essential for maintenance of cellular copper resistance.7
