Table 1 Protein sequence identity of the alpha helical rod domain and the C-terminal tail of type VI Ifs. Protein sequences deduced from available sequenced genomes present in NCBI and JGI genome assembly v4.1. were analyzed using BL2SEQ searching on the NCBI server. Sequence identities are presented on the table and --- means that no sequence identity was found in these regions of the proteins. Chicken transitin: X80877, human nestin: NM_006617, tanabin-xt: 186291 and human synemin: CAC83859
