Modulation of sensory information processing by a neuroglobin in C. elegans
Sensory receptor neurons match their dynamic range to ecologically relevant stimulus intensities. How this tuning is achieved is poorly understood in most receptors. We show that in the C. elegans URX O2 sensing neurons two putative molecular O2 sensors, a neuroglobin and O2-binding soluble guanylate cyclases, work antagonistically to sculpt a slowly rising sigmoidal O2 response curve tuned to ...
متن کاملEvidence for parallel processing of sensory information controlling dauer formation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Dauer formation in Caenorhabditis elegans is induced by chemosensation of high levels of a constitutively secreted pheromone. Seven genes defined by mutations that confer a dauer-formation constitutive phenotype (Daf-c) can be congruently divided into two groups by any of three criteria. Group 1 genes (daf-11 and daf-21) are (1) strongly synergistic with group 2 genes for their Daf-c phenotype,...
متن کاملModulation of touch sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Modulation of touch sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans Xiaoyin Chen Sensory perception adapts to diverse environment. Although studies in the last few decades have started to address the question of how sensory systems transduce signals, how these systems cross-modulated is largely unknown. In this thesis, I study mechanosensation in the C. elegans touch receptor neurons (TRNs) to understand...
متن کاملThe sensory cilia of Caenorhabditis elegans.
The non-motile cilium, once believed to be a vestigial cellular structure, is now increasingly associated with the ability of a wide variety of cells and organisms to sense their chemical and physical environments. With its limited number of sensory cilia and diverse behavioral repertoire, C. elegans has emerged as a powerful experimental system for studying how cilia are formed, function, and ...
متن کاملFunctional modulation of IFT kinesins extends the sensory repertoire of ciliated neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans
The diversity of sensory cilia on Caenorhabditis elegans neurons allows the animal to detect a variety of sensory stimuli. Sensory cilia are assembled by intraflagellar transport (IFT) kinesins, which transport ciliary precursors, bound to IFT particles, along the ciliary axoneme for incorporation into ciliary structures. Using fluorescence microscopy of living animals and serial section electr...
