Integrating proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles provide new insights into ABA-dependent signal regulation network in maize response to heat stress by Yanpei Liu, Yulong Zhao, Haiying Zhan, Shanshan Lv, Yanmin Luo, Wei Wang, Xiuli Hu

“…Among them, heat shock proteins (17 DEPs and 3 DEPPs), transcription factors (9 DEPs and 27 DEPPs), ubiquitin-proteasome system components (1 DEP and 6 DEPPs), translation-related to proteins (23 DEPs and 22 DEPPs) and defensive proteins (12 DEP and 24 DEPPs) were identified, indicating that chaperon protein function, protein turnover, and defense system might be the key ABA-mediated processes in maize HS response. Specially, we focused on a bZIP transcription factor ZmHY5L (ZmHY5-Like) because its expression and phosphorylation levels were both upregulated prominently under HS, and further demonstrated that the complementary lines of the mimic-phosphorylatable ZmHY5L-S25D in Arabidopsis hy5 knockdown mutants rescued heat-sensitive phenotypes of hy5 mutant while complementary lines of the mimic-nonphosphorylatable ZmHY5L-S25A failed, suggesting the ZmHY5L activation by phosphorylation could play a key role in ABA-regulated thermotolerance. …”

Memory in the signifying body. An insight into lexicon from different sign languages by Maria T. De Monte

“…While memory is often associated with the brain from a neurological perspective (Baddeley [1974]; Cann & Ross [1989]; Ackerman [1992]), different languages metaphorically locate memory in various parts of the body, such as the heart, muscles, or even the environment. Sentences like “This is etched on my heart” (English) refer to something that has made a big impression on me, making it easy for me to remember. …”
