* A. thaliana consensus β-tubulin sequences were generated from A. thaliana sequences for TBB1 (P12411), TBB2 (P29512), TBB4 (P24636), TBB5 (P29513), TBB6 (P29514), TBB7 (P29515), TBB8 (P29516) and TBB9 (P29517) using Vector NTI Advance programme (InforMax, Bethesda, MD, USA). Swiss-Prot accession numbers are in parentheses. Identical amino acid positions are underlined. Amino acid residues exposed on inner or outer side of microtubule wall are in bold.
