This grant provides partial support for a FASEB Summer Conference on Protein Phosphatases to be held from July 23 to July 28, 2000 at Copper Mountain, Colorado. This will mark the tenth anniversary of this meeting. At the dawn of a new millennium, the success of the previous conferences and the widely recognized role of these enzymes in regulation of many cellular functions amply justify the existence of such a conference.Research on protein phosphatases is at an exciting and rapidly moving stage, revealing the fundamental importance of these enzymes in pathways that govern most aspects of cell life and death. It is now clear that phosphatases are equal partners with protein kinases and research on protein phosphatases is essential for our understanding of the control of cellular functions. Within the past few years, a large number of phosphatases and phosphatase regulatory/targeting subunits have been identified. A major focus of current research is to understand their structure-function relationships and the multiplicity of ways they are involved in signaling.The purpose of this conference is to bring together investigators studying various aspects of protein phosphatases and to disseminate the most recent information in the field. There is a constant infusion of new researchers from various disciplines into this area and the 2000 conference will be important for a focused presentation and discussion of the most recent advances in the genetics, biochemistry and function of protein phosphatases. The Conference will consist of eight sessions, each with at least six speakers, selected from investigators who have made important recent contributions and from submitted abstracts. This will help to ensure inclusion of young investigators, women and minorities as primary participants. In addition, two poster sessions will be organized.

这笔赠款为将于2000年7月23日至7月28日在科罗拉多铜山举行的FASEB蛋白磷酸酶夏季会议提供部分支持。这将标志着这次会议十周年。在新千年来临之际，前几届会议的成功和这些酶在调节许多细胞功能中的广泛认可的作用充分证明了这样一个会议的存在。蛋白磷酸酶的研究正处于一个令人兴奋和快速发展的阶段，揭示了这些酶在控制细胞生命和死亡的大多数方面的途径中的根本重要性。现在很清楚，磷酸酶与蛋白激酶是平等的伙伴，对蛋白磷酸酶的研究对于我们理解细胞功能的控制至关重要。在过去的几年中，已经鉴定了大量的磷酸酶和磷酸酶调节/靶向亚基。当前研究的一个主要焦点是了解它们的结构-功能关系以及它们参与信号传导的多种方式。本次会议的目的是汇集研究蛋白磷酸酶各个方面的研究人员，并传播该领域的最新信息。有一个不断注入新的研究人员从各个学科到这一领域和2000年的会议将是重要的集中介绍和讨论的最新进展的遗传学，生物化学和功能的蛋白磷酸酶。会议将包括八次会议，每次会议至少有六名发言者，从最近作出重要贡献的研究人员和提交的摘要中选出。这将有助于确保将年轻调查员、妇女和少数民族作为主要参与者。此外，还将举办两次海报展示会。
