Escherichia coli CspA is an RNA binding protein that accumulates during cold-shock and stimulates translation of several mRNAs—including its own. Translation in the cold of cspA mRNA involves a cis-acting thermosensor element, which enhances ribosome ...

The extraordinary AFD thermosensor of C. elegans [PDF]
The nematode C. elegans exhibits complex thermal experience-dependent navigation behaviors in response to environmental temperature changes of as little as 0.01°C over a > 10°C temperature range. The remarkable thermosensory abilities of this animal are mediated primarily via the single pair of AFD sensory neurons in its head.

Thermostability of Two Cyanobacterial GrpE Thermosensors [PDF]
GrpE proteins act as co-chaperones for DnaK heat-shock proteins. The dimeric protein unfolds under heat stress conditions, which results in impaired interaction with a DnaK protein. Since interaction of GrpE with DnaK is crucial for the DnaK chaperone activity, GrpE proteins act as a thermosensor in bacteria.

The heat-shock response, a universal protective mechanism consisting of a transcriptional reprogramming of the cellular transcriptome, results in the accumulation of proteins which counteract the deleterious effects of heat-stress on cellular ...

ELECTRONIC THERMOSENSORS FOR UNMANNED SHIPS
The article deals with temperature sensors, the operation of which is based on the use of a change of voltage on a p-n junction of the semiconductor transistor at the set direct current. It sets out the theoretical justification for requirements for the structure of diodes and transistors used as temperature sensors.

Hsf1 undergoes phase separation around target DNA, activating stress‐responsive transcription. DNA binding tunes conformational dynamics of Hsf1DBD, which propagates through large‐scale domain rearrangements involving DBD–IDR interactions to regulate phase separation. This hierarchical framework illustrates how local structural events at the side chain

Human and Mouse TRPA1 Are Heat and Cold Sensors Differentially Tuned by Voltage
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 channel (TRPA1) serves as a key sensor for reactive electrophilic compounds across all species. Its sensitivity to temperature, however, differs among species, a variability that has been attributed to an ...

Specialized somatosensory neurons detect temperatures ranging from pleasantly cool or warm to burning hot and painful (nociceptive). The precise temperature ranges sensed by thermally sensitive neurons is determined by tissue-specific expression of ion ...
