High impact information on Os-E

We show that the OS-E and OS-F transcription units are located <1 kb apart [1].
If these are orthologues. then the gene duplication establishing the OS-E and OS-F lineages predated the divergence of mosquitoes and flies [2].

Biological context of Os-E

Molecular evolution of odorant-binding protein genes OS-E and OS-F in Drosophila [3].
Exon boundary comparisons suggests that two A. gambiae genes are orthologues of OS-E and OS-F, justifying the names AgamOS-E (EAA0 1090, AF437886) and AgamOS-F (EAA14641, AF437884) [2].
Odorant binding protein homologues of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae; possible orthologues of the OS-E and OS-F OBPs OF Drosophila melanogaster [2].

Other interactions of Os-E

Two of these genes, OS-E and OS-F, are related to genes encoding moth pheromone-binding proteins [4].
