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.

9900515摘要1999年FASEB夏季会议“原核生物转录起始”将于1999年7月3日至8日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。 该会议是在美国实验生物学会联合会（FASEB）的赞助下举行的。 共有10个主要口头会议，每个会议平均包括3个30分钟的报告和2个15分钟的报告。 将有两次海报会议，每次持续两天。讨论的主题包括 DNA 依赖性 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；西格玛因素、反西格玛因素和核心相互作用；发起人（两场会议）；镇压和沉默；伸长复合物的形成和稳定性；复杂的监管体系；和信号转导。 会议重点讨论真细菌，但也会考虑古细菌和真核生物，比较很有趣。会议的目的是让生物化学家、生物物理学家和遗传学家聚集在一起共享信息。 该领域正在迅速发展，并提供了有关分子水平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提供经济援助。
