Sensory photoreceptors underpin light-dependent adaptations of organismal physiology,
development, and behavior in nature. Adapted for optogenetics, sensory photoreceptors …

Signaling photoreceptors use the information contained in the absorption of a photon to
modulate biological activity in plants and a wide range of organisms. The fundamental—and …

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a highly adaptable organism that can
persist in a wide range of environmental and food-related niches. The consumption of …

Ice loss to the sea currently accounts for virtually all of the sea-level rise that is not
attributable to ocean warming, and about 60% of the ice loss is from glaciers and ice caps …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

Fluorescent reporter proteins such as green fluorescent protein are valuable noninvasive
molecular tools for in vivo real-time imaging of living specimens. However, their use is …

Signal perception is a key function in regulating biological activities and adapting to
changing environments. Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains are ubiquitous sensors found in …

Signal transduction proteins are organized into sensor (input) domains that perceive a
signal and, in response, regulate the biological activity of effector (output) domains. We …

LOV (light, oxygen or voltage) domains are protein photosensors that are conserved in
bacteria, archaea, plants and fungi, and detect blue light via a flavin cofactor. LOV domains …

For single-cell and multicellular systems to survive, they must accurately sense and respond
to their cellular and extracellular environment. Light is a nearly ubiquitous environmental …
