Abstract:
Adaptation to thermal stress requires cells to interpret temperature changes in molecular terms to initiate biochemical responses. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Ueno et al.1 uncover a protein phosphorylation circuit as a potential thermosensor, linking stress to changes in global mRNA splicing.
