Morphology and ultrastructure of chemosensory sensilla of labio-maxillary complex in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Col.: Chrysomelidae), larvae [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2008
The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a destructive insect pest of potato and other solanaceous crops. The type, number and distribution of sensory receptors on the labio-maxillary complex of larvae were studied using the ...

Isolation and Preliminary X-Ray Crystallographic Characterisation of the Periplasmic Ligand-Binding Domain of the Chemoreceptor Tlp3 from Campylobacter hepaticus

Crystals
The Campylobacter genus includes many pathogenic species, with Campylobacter hepaticus primarily implicated in spotty liver disease in poultry. Chemotaxis is one of the well-established mechanisms of pathogenesis of Campylobacter. The chemoreceptor Tlp3,

A Two‐Protein Chemoreceptor Complex Regulates Oxygen Thresholds in Bacterial Magneto‐Aerotaxis

Advanced Science
Bacteria in changing environments rely on motility and sensory mechanisms to locate optimal conditions. This process depends on specialized chemoreceptors to sense environmental stimuli.

Acute oxygen sensing: diverse but convergent mechanisms in airway and arterial chemoreceptors

Respiratory Research, 2001
Airway neuroepithelial bodies sense changes in inspired O2, whereas arterial O2 levels are monitored primarily by the carotid body. Both respond to hypoxia by initiating corrective cardiorespiratory reflexes, thereby optimising gas exchange in the face ...

HilD-regulated chemotaxis proteins contribute to Salmonella Typhimurium colonization in the gut

mBio
In the enteric pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium, invasion and motility are coordinated by HilD, a master regulator that activates expression of genes encoding the type III secretion system 1 and some motility genes, including the chemotaxis gene mcpC ...

Differential expression of large conductance Ca2+-activated K channels in the carotid body between DBA/2J and A/J strains of mice

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
The carotid body (CB) is a primary chemosensory organ for arterial hypoxia. Inhibition of K channels in chemosensory glomus cells (GCs) are considered to be responsible for hypoxic chemoreception and/or chemotransduction of the CB. Hypoxic sensitivity of

Nitric oxide and carotid body chemoreception

Biological Research, 2001
Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as an inhibitory modulator of carotid body chemosensory responses to hypoxia. It is believed that NO modulates carotid chemoreception by several mechanisms, which include the control of carotid body vascular tone and ...
