Comparison of filament dimensions for NM IIA, IIB, and IIC. Length distributions of filaments from NM II paralogs are similar. Mean contour lengths were 301 (±24 nm S.D.), 323 (±24 nm S.D.), and 293 (±33 nm S.D.) for NM IIA, NM IIB, and NM IIC respectively. NM IIC filaments tended to be narrower and have a longer bare zone than those made from NM IIA and NM IIB, indicating fewer constituent molecules in NM IIC filaments. Mean widths were 11.2 (±2.4 nm S.D.), 11.5 (±2.3 nm), and 7.9 nm (±2.1 nm) for NM IIA, NM IIB, and NM IIC, respectively. Mean bare zone lengths were 167 (±19 nm) for NM IIA, 166 (±16 nm) for NM IIB, and 219 (±30 nm) for NM IIC.
