Corrigendum: Fertilization competence of the egg-coating envelope is regulated by direct interaction of dicalcin and gp41, the Xenopus laevis ZP3

In the Abstract, " The interactive regions between dicalcin and gp41 comprised six and nine amino acid residues within dicalcin and twenty-three within gp41. " now reads: " The interactive regions between dicalcin and gp41 comprised five and nine amino acid residues within dicalcin and twenty-three within gp41. " In the Introduction, " Among them, dcp11 (S-F-S-C-N-Q-K-N-K) and dcp15 (A-A-L-C-K-L) exhibited the maximal binding activities to gp41, consistent with our early estimation that the primary binding site(s) may be localized within region 2 (Fig. 1d).
