TRP ion channels in thermosensation, thermoregulation and metabolism [PDF]
In humans, the TRP superfamily of cation channels includes 27 related molecules that respond to a remarkable variety of chemical and physical stimuli. While physiological roles for many TRP channels remain unknown, over the past years several have been shown to function as molecular sensors in organisms ranging from yeast to humans.

TRP Channels Entering the Structural Era [PDF]
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are important in many neuronal and non-neuronal physiological processes. The past 2 years have seen much progress in the use of structural biology techniques to elucidate molecular mechanisms of TRP channel ...

Complex plant responses to drought and heat stress under climate change
Significance Statement In this review, we explain how plants respond to drought, heat, and their combined stress at both physiological and molecular levels. Additionally, we summarize novel resilience mechanisms revealed through natural variations and discuss strategies for developing crops resilient to the increasing dry and hot conditions resulting ...

Intrinsic Thermal Sensing Controls Proteolysis of Yersinia Virulence Regulator RovA [PDF]
Pathogens, which alternate between environmental reservoirs and a mammalian host, frequently use thermal sensing devices to adjust virulence gene expression. Here, we identify the Yersinia virulence regulator RovA as a protein thermometer. Thermal shifts

Allosteric Activation of Bacterial Response Regulators: the Role of the Cognate Histidine Kinase Beyond Phosphorylation [PDF]
Response regulators are proteins that undergo transient phosphorylation, connecting specific signals to adaptive responses. Remarkably, the molecular mechanism of response regulator activation remains elusive, largely because of the scarcity of ...

Temperature regulation of plant hormone signaling during stress and development [PDF]
Global climate change has broad-ranging impacts on the natural environment and human civilization. Increasing average temperatures along with more frequent heat waves collectively have negative effects on cultivated crops in agricultural sectors and wild

Thermosensation: Hot Findings Make TRPNs Very Cool [PDF]
TRPV and TRPM proteins have been shown to form temperature-responsive cation channels that act in nociception. Recent work on the mouse ANKTM1 and Drosophila Painless proteins shows that members of a third TRP subfamily, TRPN, also function in thermosensation.

cGMP dynamics underlie thermosensation in C. elegans [PDF]
AbstractAnimals sense ambient temperature so that they can adjust their behavior to the environment; they avoid noxious heat and coldness and stay within a survivable temperature range. C. elegans can sense temperature, memorize past cultivation temperature and navigate towards preferable temperature, for which a thermosensory neuron, AFD, is essential.
