Insights into the control and consequences of breathing adjustments in fishes-from larvae to adults
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Adjustments of ventilation in fishes to regulate the volume of water flowing over the gills are critically important responses to match branchial gas transfer with metabolic needs and to defend homeostasis during environmental fluctuations in O2 and/or ...

Prevalence and Specificity of Chemoreceptor Profiles in Plant-Associated Bacteria
mSystems, 2021 Chemosensory pathways are among the most abundant prokaryotic signal transduction systems, allowing bacteria to sense and respond to environmental stimuli. Signaling is typically initiated by the binding of specific molecules to the ligand binding domain

Diverse Sensory Repertoire of Paralogous Chemoreceptors Tlp2, Tlp3, and Tlp4 in Campylobacter jejuni
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Campylobacter jejuni responds to extracellular stimuli via transducer-like chemoreceptors (Tlps). Here, we describe receptor-ligand interactions of a unique paralogue family of dCache_1 (double Calcium channels and chemotaxis) chemoreceptors: Tlp2, Tlp3,

The Unconventional Cytoplasmic Sensing Mechanism for Ethanol Chemotaxis in
mBio, 2020 Motile bacteria sense chemical gradients using chemoreceptors, which consist of distinct sensing and signaling domains. The general model is that the sensing domain binds the chemical and the signaling domain induces the tactic response.

mBio, 2021 The Helicobacter pylori chemoreceptor TlpA plays a role in dampening host inflammation during chronic stomach colonization. TlpA has a periplasmic dCache_1 domain, a structure that is capable of sensing many ligands; however, the only characterized TlpA ...

Chemotaxis of the Human Pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine
mBio, 2022 Acetylcholine is a central biological signal molecule present in all kingdoms of life. In humans, acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter of the peripheral nervous system; it mediates signal transmission at neuromuscular junctions.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019 Background The contribution of the lung or the plant gain (PG; ie, change in blood gases per unit change in ventilation) to Cheyne‐Stokes respiration (CSR) in heart failure has only been hypothesized by mathematical models, but never been directly ...
