An incorrect version of figure 2 was published in the above article. The published figure included data points for Cyanophora
paradoxa, which was not fully analyzed in our study. The proper figure appears below, with this taxon removed. J.G.W. and J.B.D.

This mistake was brought to our attention by the publication of the paper “Mdm10 is an ancient eukaryotic porin co-occurring
with the ERMES complex” by Flinner et al. (2013) in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta. In this paper, the authors report the finding of
ERMES components in C. paradoxa. Given this new information, the sum of the data is no longer most consistent with the rooting
for the eukaryotic tree proposed in our article. By contrast, the data do support and extend our original central conclusions that
ERMES is ancient and found in diverse eukaryotes.
