We have detected four errors in the sequence for NkX-2.5a cDNA given in Fig. 1. The corrected version is printed below.
DNA sequence of the Nkx-2.5a cDNA clone with the predicted Nkx-2.5 amino acid sequence. The start and stop codons, and the homeobox are boxed. The amino terminal homology is underlined (see Fig. 2B). The NK2-specific domain is doubly underlined (see Fig. 2C). The region between the homeodomain and the NK2-specific domain shared by Nkx2.5 and Nkx-2.6 is indicated with dashes (Fig. 2C). A possible polyadenylation signal and mRNA instability sequence are respectively overlined and underlined in bold.

We would also like to point out that the Drosophila NK4/msh-2 gene has been renamed tinman (see Bodmer (1993) Development 118, 719-729).
