Translation on demand by a simple RNA-based thermosensor [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2010
Structured RNA regions are important gene control elements in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Here, we show that the mRNA of a cyanobacterial heat shock gene contains a built-in thermosensor critical for photosynthetic activity under stress conditions.

A Salmonella Typhi RNA thermosensor regulates virulence factors and innate immune evasion in response to host temperature.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Sensing and responding to environmental signals is critical for bacterial pathogens to successfully infect and persist within hosts. Many bacterial pathogens sense temperature as an indication they have entered a new host and must alter their virulence ...

Regulation of Bacillus subtilis DesK thermosensor by lipids [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 2013
Temperature sensing is essential for the survival of living cells. The membrane-bound thermosensor DesK from Bacillus subtilis is a key representative of histidine kinases receptors able to remodel membrane lipid composition when the temperature drops below ~30°C.

Comparative study of cold hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in two animal models of neuropathic pain: different etiologies and distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023
Neuropathic pain (NP) affects more than 8% of the global population. The proposed action of the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) as a mechanosensor and the characterization of the transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) as a cold ...

Decoding stress resilience in soybean: Regulatory networks and precision breeding under climate change

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review covers recent progress in the understanding of stress‐responsive regulatory networks in soybean and highlights emerging genomic and breeding strategies. Integrating molecular insights and precision breeding will help to accelerate the development of climate‐resilient soybean cultivars.

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Development of the HTRF assay to evaluate the auxin‐induced binding between TIR1 and IAA7

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3475-3485, June 2026.
Summary Auxin plays diverse roles in plant growth and development, including sensing environmental changes. Quantifying the interaction between auxin coreceptors provides the molecular basis for cells to sense and adapt to environmental cues. Although several assays are available, a more high‐throughput method is necessary to efficiently evaluate the ...

A Hierarchical VvbHLH30‐VvERF70‐VvACS2 Module Orchestrates Ethylene Biosynthesis and Cold Adaptation in Grapevine

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4317-4341, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethylene is a key gaseous phytohormone that plays crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development and stress responses. However, ethylene‐associated biosynthetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governing cold‐adaptation responses in plants remain poorly understood.

An mRNA-mRNA Interaction Couples Expression of a Virulence Factor and Its Chaperone in Listeria monocytogenes

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Bacterial pathogens often employ RNA regulatory elements located in the 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) to control gene expression. Using a comparative structural analysis, we examine the structure of 5′ UTRs at a global scale in the pathogenic ...

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 40, 18 May 2026.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.
