Correction to: Nature Microbiology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-025-02144-y, published online 10 October 2025.

In the version of the article initially published, the final paragraph of the Discussion (beginning “As mammalian VAP proteins have multiple interactors…”) and the reference “Mehra, C. et al. Toxoplasma effector TgROP1 establishes membrane contact sites with the endoplasmic reticulum during infection. Nat. Microbiol. 10, 3331–3345 (2025)” were missing and have now been added to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
