The rod regions of individual NFs were aligned with Clustal X. The generated MSF file was opened and edited with GeneDoc. Conserved amino acid residues are shaded black. Conservative substitutions are in gray. Abbreviations are as in Table 1. A, the amino acid sequence in the rod region of lamprey NF-L was aligned with NF-Ls of other species. B, the amino acid sequences in the rod regions of lamprey NF180, NF132, and NF95 were aligned with NF-Ms of other species. Note the unique sequence “GVS” inserted into the lamprey NF-Ms at position 44–46. At the carboxyl end, a conservative substitution of “D” for “E” occurs at the fourth position of “KLLEGEE” in the lamprey NF-Ms (306^th position in the present sequence).
