This grant provides support for a conference to be held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) entitled "New Perspectives in Transporter Biology." This meeting is the third bi-annual conference on the subject and is scheduled to be held from July 21 - July 26, 2001 at the Omni Tucson, in Tucson Arizona. It is expected to be attended by approximately 160 researchers. The conference will bring together biochemists, biophysicists, physiologists, and molecular biologists to share information on the molecular and physiological properties of the proteins responsible for mediating the transport of amino acids, peptides, neurotransmitters, and other ions across biological membranes. Recent work on the structure/function, regulation, and physiological roles of these transporters have shown them to be critical not only for normal function but as therapeutic targets in disease states. The explosion of new information on these molecules makes this a timely topic for interactions among the top transporter biologists. The conference sessions will be devoted to recent findings in the field of membrane transport and include the latest information on transporters for amino acids, amines, peptides, glucose, as well as vesicular transporters and ion exchangers. Some topics to be examined in depth include transporter physiology, structure/function, trafficking and localization, regulation, model systems, and diseases states.The conference will consist of nine oral scientific session over five days (morning and evening), and three afternoon poster sessions. Each oral session will be followed by a panel discussion of the topic. In order to promote the advancement of junior faculty, the most exciting poster submissions will be selected for short oral presentations during the regular oral sessions. This conference should provide the top transporter investigators with a forum for intimate discussions of the commonalities and differences among this important class of molecules.

这笔赠款支持在美国实验生物学学会联合会(FASEB)的主持下举行的题为“转运蛋白生物学的新视角”的会议。这次会议是关于这一主题的第三次半年度会议，定于2001年7月21日至7月26日在亚利桑那州图森市的Omni Tucson举行。预计将有大约160名研究人员参加。这次会议将汇集生物化学家、生物物理学家、生理学家和分子生物学家，分享负责调节氨基酸、多肽、神经递质和其他离子跨生物膜运输的蛋白质的分子和生理性质的信息。最近对这些转运蛋白的结构/功能、调节和生理作用的研究表明，它们不仅对正常功能至关重要，而且在疾病状态下作为治疗靶点也是至关重要的。关于这些分子的新信息的爆炸性增长使这一问题成为顶级转运蛋白生物学家之间相互作用的及时话题。会议将专门讨论膜转运领域的最新发现，并包括关于氨基酸、胺、肽、葡萄糖以及囊泡转运和离子交换器的最新信息。将深入研究的主题包括转运体生理、结构/功能、贩运和本地化、监管、模型系统和疾病状况。会议将包括9个口头科学会议，为期5天(上午和晚上)，以及3个下午的海报会议。每一次口头会议之后，都会有一个专题小组讨论。为了促进初级教师的发展，在定期的口头会议期间，将挑选最令人兴奋的海报作品进行简短的口头陈述。这次会议应该为顶级转运蛋白研究人员提供一个论坛，深入讨论这类重要分子之间的共同点和不同点。
