We were notified via PubPeer of two errors. In Figure 5A, the WT control (GLU +) well was inadvertently duplicated in KI control (GLN +). In Figure 7-S1, the GCN2 blot of RKO cells was inadvertently duplicated in that of HT 29 cells on the right. We predicted that these duplications occurred during figure preparation and composite using different software. Due to high similarity in these images, the authors failed to recognize them even after repeated proofreading.

We have since retrieved full plate and gel scan images and replaced the duplication with correct images. The authors also noted that the link to deposited microarray data in Material of Method was incorrect while that in Data availability statement is correct. These corrections do not change the results or conclusions of our study.
