Table 1. Summary of nine TOG Superfamily family members.

The family number, name, abbreviation, TC number, number of TMSs, normal protein size range in numbers of amino acyl residues, dominant topology, TMS gain or loss, organismal distribution and Pfam id designation are presented. Minor topologies, represented in a minority of family members, are listed in small numbers in parentheses in column 7. Putative topological transitions are described in footnotes 14.
