Abstract

After previously discovering that the ion channel TRPA1 is used as an internal temperature sensor in Drosophila to control the slow response of flies to shallow thermal gradients, the authors show here that the rapid response of flies to steep warming gradients relies on a different protein, GR28B, providing the first example of a thermosensory role for a gustatory receptor.
