From: RNA-seq analysis of the salivary glands and midgut of the Argasid tick Ornithodoros rostratus
Evolutionary relationships of Ornithodoros rostratus Lipocalins. The evolutionary history of the O. rostratus lipocalins was inferred using the Neighbour-Joining method. The optimal tree with the sum of branch length = 40.29 is shown. The analysis involved 72 amino acid sequences. There was a total of 386 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA. Oros = Ornithodoros rostratus; Opar = O. parkeri; Ocor = O. coriaceus; Omou = O. moubata; Okal = O. kalahariensis; Amon = Argas monolakensis; Isca = Ixodes scapularis. L-I to L-III: lipocalin clades I to III; M-I to M-III: moubatin clades I to III; SHBP-I and II = serotonin and histamine biding proteins clades I and II; LTC4 = leukotriene-C4 (cysteinyl rich leukotrienes); PAI = platelet aggregation inhibitor; CI = complement inhibitor; LTB4 = leukotriene-B4. Black arrows indicate the three most expressed lipocalins in the salivary gland.
