FASEB SUMMER RESEARCH CONFERENCE--TRANSPORT ATPASES

这次会议的主要目的是将来自不同学科的150名研究人员聚集在一起，为期5-6天，研究各种ATPase的不同方面，讨论这些重要酶的结构、功能、调节以及生理和医学意义的最新发现。会议的形式包括48个演讲者演讲，75个海报演讲，以及几个小时的平台讨论和大量的非正式信息交流机会。不同的会议包括：膜蛋白结构的一般原理；2)Na+/K+、H+和H+ATPase；3)钙++ATPase；4)V型ATPase；5)ABC转运体：P-糖蛋白和相关的药物和代谢转运体；6)CFTR、SUR和其他NBF-TM6蛋白；以及7)转运体ATPase与疾病。这一知识对囊性纤维化、糖尿病、癌症治疗中的耐药性、威尔逊氏病和门克氏病的关键重要性的临床相关讲座正在计划中。在女发言人和初级或代表不足的科学家中都有很好的代表性。将特别关注初级教师、博士后研究员和学生的申请，并鼓励他们提交海报。值得注意的是，将举行会议的地点对残疾人来说是可以进入的。正如1996年第一次FASB“运输ATPas”夏季会议一样，环境应非常有利于讨论和促进新的想法和新的合作。它也应该被证明对致力于已建立的ATPase的新的研究人员，以及一般致力于新的ATPase的研究人员也是有价值的。最后，这次会议将被证明是有价值的，可以将运输ATPase基本知识的最新进展转化为了解涉及这种ATPase的疾病或疾病治疗。这是唯一一个完全集中在运输ATPase上的既定会议

The major aim of the conference is to bring together for 5-6 days one hundred and fifty investigators from a large number of disciplines working on different aspects of various ATPases to discuss recent discoveries on the structure, function, regulation, and physiological and medical relevance of these important enzymes. The format of the conference includes 48 speaker presentations, 75 poster presentations, and several hours of platform discussion and ample opportunities for informal exchange of information. The various sessions include those on: General Principles of Membrane Protein Structure; 2) Na+/K+, H+ and H+ ATPases 3) Ca++ ATPases; 4) V-type ATPases, 5) ABC transporters: P-glycoproteins and related drug and metabolic transporters; 6) CFTR, SUR, and other NBF-TM6 proteins, and 7) Transport ATPases and disease. Clinically relevant lectures on the critical importance of this knowledge to Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Drug Resistance in cancer treatment, Wilson's Disease, and Menke's Disease are planned. There is a good representation among the speakers of both women, and junior or underrepresented scientists. Special attention will be given to the applications of Junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students, all of whom will be encouraged to present posters. Significantly, the site where the conference will be held is accessible to people with disabilities. As at the first FASEB "Transport ATPases" Summer Conference in 1996, the environment should be highly conducive to discussion and to the stimulation of new ideas and new collaborations. It should prove valuable also to new investigators working on established ATPases, and to investigators in general working on new ATPases. Finally, the conference will prove valuable in the translation of recent advances in basic knowledge on transport ATPases to understanding those disease or disease treatments where such ATPases are involved. This is the only established conference where the focus is entirely on transport ATPases
