In the version of this article initially published, the legends for Figure 1d and f were switched, and citations to these panels in the text were incorrect. In addition, references to specific animal models in ref. 10 were inaccurate. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

(d) Domain structure and approximate length of cadherin 23 and protocadherin 15. N and C terminal transmembrane domains are indicated as tm. Ovals represent cadherin ectodomains. Epitopes used for immunogold electron microscopy are indicated by arrowheads, and the antibody-binding positions on the tip links matched the spacing of epitopes on the cadherins. (f) Proposed molecular composition of a tip link. A parallel homodimer of cadherin 23 joins a parallel homodimer of protocadherin 15, binding at their N termini (reproduced from ref. 1 by permission of Macmillan Publishers Ltd., copyright 2007).
