Correction to: _Nature_ https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0238-4Published online 20 June 2018 In this Letter, the isotopologue used to demonstrate hydrogen atom abstraction from CTP was

incorrectly identified as 2′,3′,4′,5′,5-deutero-CTP, whereas the isotopologue we used was 3′,4′,5′,5-deutero-CTP. (Boldface indicates where changes were made.) In the main text, the sentence

“Incubation of rVIP with SAM and CTP deuterated at the 2′, 3′, 4′, 5′ and 5 positions (deuCTP), increased the −_m_/_z_ of 5ʹ-dA from 250.1 to 251.1, consistent with the transfer of one

deuterium from deuCTP to 5ʹ-dA.” should have read “Incubation of rVIP with SAM and CTP deuterated at the 3′, 4′, 5′ and 5 positions (deuCTP) increased the −_m_/_z_ of 5ʹ-dA from 250.1 to

was incubated with SAM and CTP deuterated at the 3′, 4′, 5′ and 5 positions (deuCTP), the −_m_/_z_ of 5′-dA increased from 250.1 to 251.1, consistent with the transfer of one deuterium from

deuCTP to 5′-dA•.” Similarly, the name of the isotopologue appeared incorrectly in the Supplementary Information. In the Supplementary Information section ‘Hydrogen atom abstraction

specificity’ the sentence “Reactions of 100 μL total volume contained 100 μM rVIP, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM SAM, and 1 mM deuterium-labeled CTP (site-specifically labeled CTP

contains deuterium at the following positioN; (2'-2H, 3'-2H, 4'-2H, or 5'-2H2-CTP)).” should have read: "Reactions of 100 μL total volume contained 100 μM rVIP, 50

mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM SAM, and 1 mM deuterium-labelled CTP (site-specifically labelled CTP contains deuterium at the following positions:

3'-2H,4'-2H,5'-2H2,5-2H-CTP or 2'-2H-CTP,3'-2H-CTP,4'-2H-CTP or 5'-2H2-CTP). In the Supplementary Information section ‘2'-deoxy-CTP vs deutero-CTP

substrate specificity assays’ the sentence “Reactions of 100 μL total volume contained 100 μM rVIP, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM SAM, 1 mM deutero-CTP (2'-2H, 3'-2H,

4'-2H, 5'-2H2, AND 5-2H –CTP), and unlabeled 1 mM 2'-deoxy-CTP.” should have read: “Reactions of 100 μL total volume contained 100 μM rVIP, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1

mM SAM, 1 mM deutero-CTP (3'-2H,4'-2H,5'-2H2,5-2H-CTP), and unlabelled 1 mM 2'-deoxy-CTP.” These errors have been corrected online. AUTHOR INFORMATION Author notes *
