Since the publication of this article the authors have amended a sentence under the heading HK-II-mediated regulation of mTORC1 and autophagy, third paragraph, page 6.

Current sentence:

The sequence is found in various mammal (human, mouse, rat, horse, pig and whale), reptile (alligator), bird (chicken, crow, hummingbird and turkey) and fish (zebra fish, tilapia, damselfish) suggesting that the TOS motif in HK-II is well conserved in vertebrates.

Corrected sentence:

The sequence is found in various species, including mouse, rat, horse, boar and human HK-II, suggesting that the TOS motif in HK-II is well conserved.

This has now been rectified and the corrected article appears in this issue together with this corrigendum. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
