Accurate prediction of thermoresponsive phase behavior of disordered proteins. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Under heat stress, proteins have been shown to organize into biomolecular condensates in living cells. Recent experiments suggest that this response may be encoded in the chemical makeup of proteins. In particular, specific sequences undergo phase separation at elevated temperatures, exhibiting lower critical solution temperatures (LCST ...

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 ...

Injury Threshold of Oral Contact with Hot Foods and Method for Its Sensory Evaluation
Safety, 2018 Epidemiological studies indicate an increased risk of esophageal cancer from the consumption of very hot foods and beverages. The contact time and the contact temperature are decisive for the risk of injury.

TREKing noxious thermosensation [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2009 The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo‐sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and ...

The Cellular Code for Mammalian Thermosensation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Mammalian somatosenory neurons respond to thermal stimuli and allow animals to reliably discriminate hot from cold and to select their preferred environments. Previously, we generated mice that are completely insensitive to temperatures from noxious cold to painful heat (−5 to 55°C) by ablating several different classes of nociceptor early in ...

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.

Temperature Sensing in Plants: On the Dawn of Molecular Thermosensor Research [PDF]
, 2022 text学術雑誌論文 / Journal ArticleAlthough many studies on plant growth and development focus on the effects of light, a growing number of studies dissect plant responses to temperature and the underlying signaling pathways. The identity of plant thermosensing
