Taking advantage of a detoxification reaction existing in the mammalian body, glutathione (GSH) becomes unique in indirectly sensing the concentration of methyl isothiocyanate.
Through the use of a newly developed reaction cell, aqueous samples containing cyanide are treated to selectively transfer cyanide ions to a clean absorber solution which then reacts with a gold electrode of a piezoelectric crystal to indirectly sense cyanide concentration by the dissolution of metallic gold.
Small molecules called metabolites mediate a cell's survival, and metabolite production is fine-tuned by genes that indirectly sense metabolite levels.
Poly(I C) stimulation of the viral RNA receptors TLR3, PKR, MDA5 and RIG-I, the latter of which indirectly senses viral DNA through non-self RNA polymerase III transcripts, showed dampening in downstream signalling of these receptors by HPVs.
This suggests that the duration of the refractory period is plastic and could be modified by cellular components that directly or indirectly sense sperm release.
Future research may scrutinize how cells enter and leave the minimized state, and determine whether light exerts its influence on transcription by a direct mechanism, or indirectly, by sensing the cell's ATP level.
Sugars act on IPCs directly to promote Dilp release (Haselton and Fridell, 2010), but other nutrients are sensed indirectly through signals from the fat body an organ analogous to vertebrate liver/adipose tissue (Colombani et al., 2003; Geminard et al., 2009; Rajan and Perrimon, 2012).
Metal ions can be detected by MRI but are sensed only indirectly and only when in paramagnetic oxidation states through their influence on water proton relaxation times.
Most erroneous attachments are sensed, directly or indirectly, by the mitotic checkpoint as they involve lack-of-attachment or lack-of-tension, and are corrected by the chromosomal passenger complex of which Aurora B is the effector kinase [9].
Among these putative regulatory RNAs, ten were differentially expressed in response to an acid stress and two riboswitches sensed directly or indirectly the pH modification.
