This application is for partial funding for the 1999 FASEB Summer Conference on "Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes" to be held on 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 per session. There will be two poster sessions, each lasting two days. The topics to be included for discussion are: structure of DNA- dependent RNA polymerases; physical and chemical approaches to study protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions in transcription; subunit structure, function, and catalysis; sigma factors, antisigmas, 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 is the fifth conference on the subject. The first four, held in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1997, were very well attended.

本申请是为1999年FASEB夏季会议的部分资金，该会议将于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。 会议由美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）主办。 将有10个主要的口头会议，每个会议包括，平均三个30分钟的演讲和两个15分钟的演讲。 将有两个海报会议，每个持续两天。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、功能和催化作用; σ因子、反σ因子和核心相互作用;启动子（两节）;阻遏和沉默;延伸复合物的形成和稳定性;复杂的调节系统;和信号转导。 会议的重点是真细菌，但也将考虑古细菌和真核生物的比较是有趣的。会议的目的是汇集生物化学家，生物制药学家和遗传学家分享信息。 该领域正在迅速发展，并在分子水平上提供有关结构和机制的重要新信息。这是关于这个问题的第五次会议。 1991年、1993年、1995年和1997年举行的前四次会议出席人数很多。
