Gold particle counts, pooled over four experiments, were analyed using a generalized linear model with Poisson distribution and a log link. Offsets were used and correspond to the estimated segment proportion in the experiment (∼20% proximal, 60% middle, and 20% distal). The table shows gold particles/length unit ratios for the proximal and distal segments against the middle segment, together with 95% confidence intervals. The individual measurements are presented in Table S3. The difference in gold particles/length unit ratios between proteins (eIF4AIII, Y14, and Mago compared with Btz) is highly significant (likelihood ratio test, P < 0.00005) and is caused by the lower gold particles/length unit ratio for Btz in the proximal/middle segment.
