Constructing the constitutively active ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2 from <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (AtRPS6K2) and testing its activity <i>in vitro</i> by A. V. Zhigailov, G. E. Stanbekova, D. K. Beisenov, A. S. Nizkorodova, N. S. Polimbetova, B. K. Iskakov

“…In Arabidopsis thaliana, AtRPS6 is phosphorylated by kinase AtRPS6K2, which should in turn be phosphorylated by upper level kinases (AtPDK1 – at serine (S) 296, AtTOR – at threonine (T) 455 and S437) for full activation. We have cloned AtRPS6K2 cDNA gene and carried out in vitro mutagenesis replacing codons encoding S296, S437 and T455 by triplets of phosphomimetic glutamic acid (E). …”

fMRI Analysis on Electroacupuncture on Tongli Acupoint in Healthy People by Lin LU, Wanzhang YANG, Yunhai QIU, Liping YE, Linling LI

“…There were some overlap of the active areas between the two groups, but the intensities of the active brain areas in the treatment group were higher than the control group. During the first electroacupuncture task, the higher intensities of the treatment group included left cingulum post, posterior central gyrus, precentral gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, and dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).In the second task, the areas, including bilateral loran shell, left insula, middle occipital gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, right cingulum post, and gyrus frontalis inferior, had higher intensities in the treatment group than the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:Language expression might connect with various neural networks which were related to brain regions. …”

Unidirectional freeze–thaw redistributes water and amplifies soil microbial heterogeneity in a mecrocosm experiment by Huimin Liu, Yaxian Hu, Yuan Song, Xianwen Li, Xiaorong Wei

“…In this study, a refilled Mollisol was frozen, thawed and peeled into six layers, all-round from outer layer (L1) to inner core (L6) to simulate unidirectional freeze–thaw. We observed that cryosuction drove the soil water to migrate from the inner to outer layers, significantly enriching the water content in the outer layer L1 by ratios of 1.08 ∼ 1.48, but noticeably depleting that in the inner core L6 by ratios of 0.74 ∼ 0.93. …”
