Respiratory roots or pneumatophores

The roots of some trees and shrubs growing in saline marshes (mangrove plants) suffer from the lack of oxygen. Atmospheric air enters these roots through the minute pores of special lenticels (pneumathodes) on the exposed root tips.

#XL - T Zoology

The SH2 domain binds strongly to short target peptides containing a critical four-residue core sequence:: 

phosphotyrosine–glutamic acid–glutamic acid–isoleucine

Binding resembles the insertion of a two-pronged “plug” the phosphotyrosine and isoleucine side chains

of the peptide into a two-pronged “socket” in the SH2 domain.
