Correction: RAS oncogenes: The first 30 years

Abstract

Nature Reviews Cancer 3, 459–465 (2003) On page 462 of this article, the group of Chris Marshall should have been credited, alongside those of Jasper Rine and Sang–Ho Kim, with the discovery of RAS isoprenylation. The text and references should have been: In two landmark papers published in 1989 (REFS 85,86), the groups of Chris Marshall and of Jasper Rine, the latter in collaboration with Sang–Ho Kim, described isoprenylation as a novel mechanism of post-translational modification of proteins, which allowed them to identify the biochemical basis for the attachment of RAS proteins to membranes.
