The authors would like to amend the text of the article on page 267 and in the legend of figure 1 owing to potentially misleading information.

On page 267, right column, the sentence beginning on the fourth line from the bottom should read as follows:

“Additionally, PLK1 promotes the centrosomal association of sSGO1, a splice variant of shugoshin 1 (SGO1, also known as SGOL1 in humans; see below) that mediates centriole cohesion46.”

In the figure 1 legend, part b should read as follows:

“Plks function in centriole and centrosome biogenesis in animal cells. PLK4 has a conserved role in driving centriole duplication in S phase, and PLK2 also functions in this process. PLK1 (in humans) and Polo (in Drosophila melanogaster) promote centrosome maturation and function in the G2 and M phases by acting on several targets.”
