In order to test whether RIO performs well on an "easy" case, RIO was used to analyze lactate/malate dehydrogenase family members both in A. thaliana and C. elegans . L-Lactate and malate dehydrogenases are members of the same protein family (represented in Pfam as ldh for the NAD-binding domain and ldh_C for the alpha/beta C-terminal domain), yet they catalyze different reactions.
Clozapine is a widely used atypical neuroleptic with affinity for multiple receptors, including dopamine, serotonin, alpha adrenergic, muscarinic and histaminergic receptors [ 1 2 ] . Although clozapine is effective in the treatment of schizophrenia refractory to traditional antipsychotic medication, it also has a number of significant side effects ranging from the potentially fatal but rare agranulocytosis to weight gain, constipation, seizures and urinary incontinence [ 3 ] . Urinary problems have been reported in the clinical literature with incontinence present in up to 44% of patients [ 4 ] and enuresis in 27% of patients [ 5 ] . Since clozapine has potent anti-muscarinic and anti-alpha adrenergic effects [ 2 ] , it has been proposed that peripheral effects on the lower urinary tract might be responsible for the micturition disturbances [ 6 ] . Incontinence has also been reported following therapy with other atypical neuroleptics such as risperidone [ 7 8 9 ] and recently, olanzapine [ 10 ] .
The sequences of AChBP, and of the alpha3, alpha4, alpha7, beta2 and beta4 nAChR monomers were aligned using the ICM multiple sequence alignment algorithm that includes the following steps [ 16 10 ] : 1) pairwise alignment using Needleman and Wunsch algorithm modified to use zero end gap penalties (so called ZEGA) [ 15 16 ] . 2) evolutionary tree construction with a "neighbor-joining algorithm" to determine the order of alignment and calculate relative weights of sequences and profiles from the branch lengths [ 17 ] . 3) traverse the tree from top to bottom, aligning the closest sequences or profiles.
The proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose paper, and incubated at room temperature for 3 hours, or overnight, at 4°C, with mouse monoclonal anti-human Mcl-1 (1:1000), p38 MAP kinase, phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K), or protein kinase B-alpha (PKB-α) (1:500) antibodies (Transduction Laboratories, San Diego, CA, USA and New England Biolabs, Inc., Beverly, MA, USA), or rabbit polyclonal anti-rat p44/42 MAP kinase (1:1000), or doubly phosphorylated anti-human Thr180/Tyr182 phospho-p38 MAP kinase (1:1000) antibodies (New England Biolabs, Inc.).
