Is Thermosensing Property of RNA Thermometers Unique? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
A large number of studies have been dedicated to identify the structural and sequence based features of RNA thermometers, mRNAs that regulate their translation initiation rate with temperature.

A multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Nature Communications
The phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptor and EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) are two major plant thermosensors that monitor high temperatures primarily at night. However, high temperatures naturally occur during the daytime; the mechanism of daytime thermosensing

Dual Minimization of Spectrum Overlap for High-Sensitivity, High-Temperature Sensing [PDF]

Sensors
Minimizing the spectrum overlaps of energy transfer (ET) is necessary but not sufficient for achieving high-sensitivity film thermosensing. Herein we have designed two blue emitters of DBA-BPAc and Z-DBABH exhibiting blue and bluish-green emissions ...

Evidence that the TRPV1 S1-S4 membrane domain contributes to thermosensing

Nature Communications, 2020
The TRPV1 ion channel is a heat-sensing receptor that is also activated by vanilloid compounds, but the molecular underpinnings of thermosensing have remained elusive.

Commensal to pathogen switch in Streptococcus pneumoniae is influenced by a thermosensing master regulator. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Opportunistic pathogens switch from a commensal to pathogenic state by sensing and responding to a variety of environmental cues, including temperature fluctuations.

Feeling Every Bit of Winter – Distributed Temperature Sensitivity in Vernalization [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Temperature intrinsically influences all aspects of biochemical and biophysical processes. Organisms have therefore evolved strategies to buffer themselves against thermal perturbations.

Thermosensory Roles of G Protein-Coupled Receptors and Other Cellular Factors in Animals. [PDF]

Bioessays
Recent studies have revealed GPCR functions in temperature sensation. This article introduces dual thermosensing via GPCRs and TRP channels associated with the intracellular signaling components and cellular factors such as lipid interactions and pH changes, highlighting the complexity of the temperature sensing mechanism.

Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan-PKCα-AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

Altered thermal preference by preoptic estrogen receptor alpha neurons in postpartum females [PDF]

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: This study aims to investigate how reproductive experience (RE) alters thermal preference and thermoregulation in female mice, with a focus on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-expressing neurons in the preoptic area (POA).
