Gordon Conference on Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms X

9317546 Spudich基金被要求帮助支持关于微生物感觉转导的戈登会议。这次会议预计将有110-130名与会者，将允许来自美国和海外的科学家讨论关于简单单细胞系统感觉调节的分子机制的最新发展和新想法。会议将强调关于化学和光感觉受体的性质、信号的转导、细胞内信号过程和细胞对这些信号的反应的新的概括。这些反应的范围可能从鞭毛到战术细胞中的伪足调控，再到原核和真核生物中的基因表达。讨论将强调微生物和高等动物信号转导过程之间的明显同源性。这次会议，特别是当它包括研究生参与时，将为讨论对简单单细胞系统感觉调节的分子机制的新的一般理解提供一个平台。这样一个讨论平台对于在国家和国际一级推进感觉转导领域是必要的。***

9317546 Spudich Funds are requested to help support a Gordon Conference on Sensory transduction in Microorganisms. The conference, which is anticipated to have 110-130 attendees will permit scientists from the US and abroad to discuss recent developments and new ideas regarding molecular mechanisms of sensory modulation of simple unicellular systems. Sessions will emphasize the emerging generalizations regarding the nature of chemo- and photosensory receptors, transduction of the signals, the intracellular signaling processes and cell responses to these. The responses may range from flagellar to pseudopod modulation in tactic cells to gene expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Discussions will emphasize apparent homologies between microbial and higher animal signal transduction processes. %%% The Conference, especially when it includes graduate student participation, will provide a platform for the discussion of the emerging general understanding of the molecular mechanism of sensory modulation of simple unicellular systems. Such a platform for discussion is necessary for the advancement of the sensory transduction field both at the national and international level. ***
