aThe percentage of the completely conserved amino acids from the total number of amino acids in each TMS or loop of MHX proteins. The latter regions were defined according to the indications on the consensus sequence in Additional file 10.
bThe total lengths assigned for the N-terminal and loop d regions were the averages of their lengths in the individual proteins (N-terminuses that lacked the initiation codon, as well as the N-terminus of E.grandis, were not taken into consideration in determining the average length).
