Requirement of ClpX for CtsR dissociation from its operator elements upon heat stress in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
A sudden increase in temperature triggers Bacillus subtilis to activate expression of stress-specific heat shock proteins of the CtsR (class three stress gene repressor) regulon to withstand the adverse conditions.

G protein-coupled receptor-based thermosensation determines temperature acclimatization of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

Nature Communications
Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain poorly understood.

Temperature-controlled molecular switches in mammalian cells. [PDF]

J Biol Chem
Temperature is an omnipresent factor impacting on many aspects of life. In bacteria and ectothermic eukaryotes, various thermosensors and temperature-controlled switches have been described, ranging from RNA thermometers controlling the heat shock ...

Uncommon opsin’s retinal isomer is involved in mammalian sperm thermotaxis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In recent years it became apparent that, in mammals, rhodopsin and other opsins, known to act as photosensors in the visual system, are also present in spermatozoa, where they function as highly sensitive thermosensors for thermotaxis.

Structural Basis for Intrinsic Thermosensing by the Master Virulence Regulator RovA of Yersinia [PDF]

, 2012
Pathogens often rely on thermosensing to adjust virulence gene expression. In yersiniae, important virulence-associated traits are under the control of the master regulator RovA, which uses a built-in thermosensor to control its activity.

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.

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.
