The Enigmatic Canal-Associated Neurons Regulate Caenorhabditis elegans Larval Development Through a cAMP Signaling Pathway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Caenorhabditis elegans larval development requires the function of the two Canal-Associated Neurons (CANs): killing the CANs by laser microsurgery or disrupting their development by mutating the gene ceh-10 results in early larval arrest. How these cells

KISS1 and KISS1R expression in the human and rat carotid body and superior cervical ganglion

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2011
KISS1 and its receptor, KISS1R, have both been found to be expressed in central nervous system, but few data are present in the literature about their distribution in peripheral nervous structures.

The Interaction of RecA With Both CheA and CheW Is Required for Chemotaxis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Salmonella enterica is the most frequently reported cause of foodborne illness. As in other microorganisms, chemotaxis affords key physiological benefits, including enhanced access to growth substrates, but also plays an important role in infection and ...

Effects of exogenous hydrogen sulphide on calcium signalling, background (TASK) K channel activity and mitochondrial function in chemoreceptor cells

open access: yesPflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology, 2012
It has been proposed that endogenous H2S mediates oxygen sensing in chemoreceptors; this study investigates the mechanisms by which H2S excites carotid body type 1 cells.

Structure–Activity Relationship Study Reveals the Molecular Basis for Specific Sensing of Hydrophobic Amino Acids by the Campylobacter jejuni Chemoreceptor Tlp3

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Chemotaxis is an important virulence factor of the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni. Inactivation of chemoreceptor Tlp3 reduces the ability of C. jejuni to invade human and chicken cells and to colonise the jejunal mucosa of mice. Knowledge of the

Engineered single‐ and multi‐cell chemotaxis pathways in E. coli

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2009
We have engineered the chemotaxis system of Escherichia coli to respond to molecules that are not attractants for wild‐type cells. The system depends on an artificially introduced enzymatic activity that converts the target molecule into a ligand for an ...

Tetrodotoxin as a Tool to Elucidate Sensory Transduction Mechanisms: The Case for the Arterial Chemoreceptors of the Carotid Body

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2011
Carotid bodies (CBs) are secondary sensory receptors in which the sensing elements, chemoreceptor cells, are activated by decreases in arterial PO2 (hypoxic hypoxia).

Mechanism of bidirectional thermotaxis in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In bacteria various tactic responses are mediated by the same cellular pathway, but sensing of physical stimuli remains poorly understood. Here, we combine an in-vivo analysis of the pathway activity with a microfluidic taxis assay and mathematical ...

Cloning of the C-terminal cytoplasmic fragment of the tar protein and effects of the fragment on chemotaxis of Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
A gene encoding only the C-terminal portion of the receptor-transducer protein Tar of Escherichia coli was constructed. The gene product was detected and localized in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell by immunoblotting with anti-Tar antibodies.

Guinea Pig Oxygen-Sensing and Carotid Body Functional Properties

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Mammals have developed different mechanisms to maintain oxygen supply to cells in response to hypoxia. One of those mechanisms, the carotid body (CB) chemoreceptors, is able to detect physiological hypoxia and generate homeostatic reflex responses ...
