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 ...

Genomic Analysis of Immune Response against Vibrio Cholerae Hemolysin in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2012 Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (VCC) is among the accessory V. cholerae virulence factors that may contribute to disease pathogenesis in humans. VCC, encoded by hlyA gene, belongs to the most common class of bacterial toxins, known as poreforming toxins (PFTs)

Control of Membrane Lipid Fluidity by Molecular Thermosensors [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2004 Bacteria can encounter a wide range of environments and must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. As the selective barrier between living cells and their environment, the plasma membrane plays a key role in cell viability.

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 ...

Feeling the heat at the millennium: Thermosensors playing with fire [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2020 AbstractAn outstanding question regards the ability of organisms to sense their environments and respond in a suitable way. Pathogenic bacteria in particular exploit host‐temperature sensing as a cue for triggering virulence gene expression. This micro‐review does not attempt to fully cover the field of bacterial thermosensors and in detail describe ...

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

How cold is it? TRPM8 and TRPA1 in the molecular logic of cold sensation [PDF]
, 2005 Recognition of temperature is a critical element of sensory perception and allows us to evaluate both our external and internal environments. In vertebrates, the somatosensory system can discriminate discrete changes in ambient temperature, which ...

Sensing and Filtering Environmental Fluctuations: The Case of Biomolecular Condensates in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The diversity of plant condensates reflects constraints of sessile organisms to coordinate postembryonic development with environmental adaptation. This review examines how plants employ condensates to integrate temperature, light, redox, and nutrient signals.

Technique and setup for diagnostics of p-n junction–package thermal resistance in high-power gallium nitride LEDs [PDF]
, 2012 We present a setup and procedure of studying p-n junction–package thermal resistance in high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) from their thermal relaxation. A set of LEDs mounted on a metal-core printed circuit board (MCPCB) were studied.
