Hot topic: Thermosensing in plants [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2020 AbstractPlants alter their morphology and cellular homeostasis to promote resilience under a variety of heat regimes. Molecular processes that underlie these responses have been intensively studied and found to encompass diverse mechanisms operating across a broad range of cellular components, timescales and temperatures.

Hydrogen‐Bonded Cholesteric Liquid Crystals—A Modular Approach Toward Responsive Photonic Materials
Advanced Photonics Research, 2022 A supramolecular approach for photonic materials based on hydrogen‐bonded cholesteric liquid crystals is presented. The modular toolbox of low‐molecular‐weight hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors provides a simple route toward liquid crystalline materials

Cells and circuits for thermosensation in mammals [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2019 How is temperature detected and how is the resulting sensory information synthesized to produce appropriate thermosensory responses? Research in the last few years has gone a long way to answering the first part of this question. Excitingly, recent research has uncovered some of the ways sensory inputs are processed spinally, as well as identifying ...

The role of TRPA1 channels in thermosensation
Cell Insight, 2022 Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal nonselective cation channel sensitive to different physical and chemical stimuli. TRPA1 is associated with many important physiological functions in different species and thus is involved in different degrees of evolution.

eLife, 2016 Venom toxins are invaluable tools for exploring the structure and mechanisms of ion channels. Here, we solve the structure of double-knot toxin (DkTx), a tarantula toxin that activates the heat-activated TRPV1 channel. We also provide improved structures

Trends in Plant Science, 2017 Understanding the molecular networks driving plant responses to high ambient temperatures is crucial for developing crop cultivars resistant to global warming. Although several factors involved in temperature signalling are known, a thermosensing mechanism had remained elusive.

Engineering vanilloid-sensitivity into the rat TRPV2 channel
eLife, 2016 The TRPV1 channel is a detector of noxious stimuli, including heat, acidosis, vanilloid compounds and lipids. The gating mechanisms of the related TRPV2 channel are poorly understood because selective high affinity ligands are not available, and the ...

RNA thermosensors facilitate Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae immune evasion.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of death and disability in children worldwide. Two human restricted respiratory pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, are the major causative agents of bacterial meningitis, attributing to ...
