FASEB Conference: Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes to held July 3-8, 1999, at the Vermont Academy in Saxton's River, Vermont.

关于“原核生物转录启动”的1999年FASE B夏季会议将于1999年7月3-8日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。这次会议是在美国实验生物学学会联合会(FASEB)的赞助下举行的。将有10个主要的口头会议，每个会议平均包括3个30分钟的演讲和2个15分钟的演讲。讨论的主题包括依赖DNA的RNA聚合酶的结构；研究转录中蛋白质-蛋白质和蛋白质-DNA相互作用的物理和化学方法；亚基结构、功能和催化；西格玛因子、反西格玛因子和核心相互作用；启动子(两次会议)；抑制和沉默；延伸复合体的形成和稳定性；复杂的调控系统；以及信号转导。会议的重点是真细菌，但将考虑古生菌和真核生物的比较。会议的目的是将生物化学家、生物物理学家和遗传学家聚集在一起，分享信息。该领域正在迅速发展，并在分子水平上提供了关于结构和机制的重要新信息。该奖项将为参加会议的研究生和博士后研究员提供经济援助。

9900515ABSTRACTThe 1999 FASEB Summer Conference on "Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes" is to be held July 3-8, 1999, at the Vermont Academy in Saxton's River, Vermont. The conference is held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). There will be 10 major oral sessions, each including, on average, three 30-minute talks and two 15-minute talks. There will be two poster sessions, each lasting two days.The topics to be discussed include the structure of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases; physical and chemical approaches to studying protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions in transcription; subunit structure, function, and catalysis; sigma factors, antisigma factors, and core interactions; promoters (two sessions); repression and silencing; formation and stability of elongation complexes; complex regulatory systems; and signal transduction. The meeting focuses on eubacteria, but there will be consideration of both archaea and eukaryotes where comparison is interesting.The purpose of the meeting is to bring together biochemists, biophysicists and geneticists to share information. The field is progressing rapidly and providing important new information on structure and mechanisms at the molecular level.This award will provide financial assistance to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows attending the conference.
