Publisher's Note: Corrected sentence

In the section titled ‘The PleC-DivJ-DivK switch confers bistability to the DivL-CckA-CtrA module’, the following sentence is incorrect. ‘In our mathematical equations, we model ChpT and CckA as a single protein, CckA, whose transition from phosphatase to kinase is promoted by binding to substrate, CtrA.’

The correct sentence should read ‘In our mathematical equations, we model ChpT and CckA as a single protein, CckA, whose transition from phosphatase to kinase is promoted by DivL.’
