Biochemical evidence for the autophosphorylation and transphosphorylation of transforming growth factor beta receptor kinases.

abstract：:Sensory receptor neurons match their dynamic range to ecologically relevant stimulus intensities. How this tuning is achieved is poorly understood in most receptors. The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans avoids 21% O2 and hypoxia and prefers intermediate O2 concentrations. We show how this O2 preference is sculpted by ...
