Horses naturally bend their necks and backs when they jump, as seen with this Warmblood. While this enhances their ability to jump, it increases respiratory resistance (Katerina Garcia-Chope and Samba Dromo).

Phylogram of the odorant binding protein family of Cimex lectularius, with a Drosophila mojavensis outgroup sequence. The numbers on the tree nodes represent the percent bootstrap support in 10,000 trials (only values above 50% are shown). The bar at the bottom indicates 10 % amino acid divergence. The number following DROMO represents the NCBI gi| access for the drosophilid sequence. For more details, see text.

Multiple sequence alignment of the polybasic cluster of residues within the Orai1 interacting domain of the STIM1 C terminus. Black and gray shading indicate sequence identity and conserved amino acid substitutions, respectively. Alignment performed using the Network Protein Sequence Analysis CLUSTALW server. Sequences used for alignments include: Apime (Apis mellifera, XP_395207.3); Nasvi (Nasonia vitripennis, XP_001605820.1); Pedhu (Pediculus humanus corporis, XP_002422698.1); Trica (Tribolium castaneum, EFA02431.1); Dromo (Drosophila mojavensis, XP_002012295.1); Drovi (Drosophila virilis, XP_002058789.1); Drome (Drosophila melanogaster, NP523357.2); Aedae (Aedes aegypti, XP_001663818.1); Anoga (Anopheles gambiae, XP_310961.3); Bommo (Bombyx mori, BAG68907.1); Strpu (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, XP_001186683.1); mSTIM1 (mouse, NP_033313.2); rSTIM1 (rat, NP_001101966.2); hSTIM1 (human, EA X02580.1); and Galga (Gallus gallus, NP_001026009.1).

Multiple sequence alignment of the Orai1 extracellular loop 1. Key residues labeled R1, R2 and R3 in extracellular loop 1 thought to play a role in ion selectivity are shown in red (glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glutamine or asparagine). Black and gray shading indicate sequence identity and conserved amino acid substitutions, respectively. Alignment performed using the Network Protein Sequence Analysis CLUSTALW server. Alignment was performed using both EST and genome derived sequences: Trica (Tribolium castaneum, DT 789077.1); Acypi (Acyrthosiphon pisum, CF588035.1); Bommo (Bombyx mori, BAG69139); Pedhu (Pediculus humanus corporis, XM_002423908.1); Apime (Apis mellifera, XM_395979.3); Drovi (Drosophila virilis, XP_002050614.1); Gloma (Glossina morsitans; DV605388.1); Dromo (Drosophila mojavensis, XP_002005358.1); Drome (Drosophila melanogaster, DQ503470.1); Drosi (Drosophila simulans, XP_002081998.1); Aedae (Aedes aegypti, EG003030.1); Anoga (Anopheles gambiae, XM_313945.3); Culqu (Culex quinquefasciatus, XP_001850020.1); Grybi (Gryllus bimaculatus, DC439938.1); Nasvi (Nasonia vitripennis, GE372273.1); hOrai1 (human, BC013386.1); hOrai2 (human, NM_001126340.1); and hOrai3 (human, NM_152288.2).
