Percent identity of Van-deduced proteins

Van type	% identity with indicated proteina
	VanN	VanXYN	VanTN	VanRN	VanSN
VanL	65	61	50 and 54b	74	61
VanC	54	50	52	74	52
VanE	53	46	45	62	40
VanG	41	40	37	49	43
VanA	38	NA	NA	51	35

^aNumbers in boldface are the highest percentages of identity with VanN-type proteins. NA, not applicable.

^bThe transmembrane and racemase domains of VanT_N were compared with those of VanTr_L and VanTm_L, respectively.
