2002 FASEB Meeting on Protein Phosphatases

描述(由申请人提供)： 丝氨酸、苏氨酸和酪氨酸残基上蛋白质的磷酸化是控制细胞生长和增殖、分化、细胞骨架功能、细胞周期和新陈代谢等基本细胞过程的重要元素。尽管从一开始，对蛋白激酶的研究就一直主导着蛋白磷酸化领域，但最近，人们对蛋白磷酸酶的结构和功能产生了极大的兴趣。将于2002年7月13日至18日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯村举行的第七届FASEB蛋白质磷酸酶会议的目的是介绍蛋白质磷酸酶领域的最新和最令人兴奋的主题，讨论将影响未来研究的新兴技术，以主旨演讲的形式表彰该领域的特定研究人员取得的杰出成就，并鼓励新的研究人员，特别是初级研究人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与该领域。 除了典型的科学会议外，会议还将包括一个关于新兴技术的小型研讨会，重点是质谱学方法和成像技术，以及诺贝尔奖获得者保罗·格林加德的主旨演讲。正式会议将有5-6个长时间(约30分钟)的演讲和1-2个短时间(15分钟)的演讲。大多数(40)正式演讲者已经被邀请，几乎所有(38)人都已确认出席。其余的发言，包括所有简短的演讲，将根据未来几个月令人兴奋的新发展和/或与会者提交的摘要来选择。这些会议将围绕科学主题组织，并将穿插介绍丝氨酸-苏氨酸和酪氨酸磷酸酶。还将有两个海报会议。 根据之前的会议，我们预计总出席人数为150-175人。这项提案所要求的资金将使更多的年轻研究人员、学生和博士后研究员能够参与，特别是那些没有自己资金的人。我们希望，磷酸酶领域工作的综合介绍将培养一种凝聚力，并自由交流最令人兴奋的发展。 随后的会议(2004年和2006年)将采用类似的形式，并将包括与这些会议时间最相关的议题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The phosphorylation of proteins on serine, threonine and tyrosine residues is an essential element in the control of such fundamental cellular processes as growth and proliferation, differentiation, cytoskeletal function, the cell cycle and metabolism. Although work on protein kinases has dominated the field of protein phosphorylation since its inception, recently, there has been an explosion of interest in protein phosphatase structure and function. The objectives of the seventh FASEB Conference on Protein Phosphatases, to be held at Snowmass Village, Colorado, July 13-18, 2002, are to present the latest and most exciting topics in the Protein Phosphatase field, to discuss emerging technologies that will impact future research, to recognize outstanding achievement by a specific investigator in the field in the form of a Keynote Lecture, and to encourage new participation in the field, particularly by junior investigators, women and under-represented minorities. In addition to typical scientific sessions, the meeting will feature an Opening AMini-Symposium@ on Emerging Technologies, focusing on mass spectrometric methods and imaging technology, and a Keynote address by Nobel prize winner Paul Greengard. Formal sessions will have 5-6 long (approximately 30 minute) talks and 1-2 short (15 minutes) talks. Most (40) of the formal speakers have been invited already, and nearly all (38) have confirmed their attendance. The remainder of the presentations, including all of the short talks, will be chosen on the basis of exciting new developments over the next several months and/or abstracts submitted by Conferees. These sessions will be organized around scientific themes and will have interspersed presentations on serine-threonine and tyrosine phosphatases. There also will be two poster sessions. We anticipate a total attendance of 150-175 individuals, based on previous meetings. The funds requested in this proposal will enable more young investigators, students and post-doctoral fellows to participate, particularly those without their own funding. We hope that the integrated presentation of work across the phosphatase field will foster a sense of cohesiveness and a free exchange of the most exciting developments. The subsequent meetings (2004 and 2006) will follow a similar format and will include topics that are most relevant at the times of those meetings.
