Regulation & Function of Small GTPases

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的会议，小GTP酶的调节和功能，将是一系列FASEB夏季研究会议的第八次，致力于研究GTP结合蛋白，这些蛋白调节正常细胞过程，如增殖，极性，迁移和基因表达，并有助于疾病过程，如癌症。 会议将于2006年7月15日至20日在佛蒙特州萨克顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。 这些会议提供了一个独特的论坛，解决由Ras超家族成员调控的细胞生物学的重要问题。 这些会议最初分为会议根据GTdR亚家族，现在围绕生物主题安排，以提高主要目标，这是刺激不同群体的细胞和结构生物学家和生物化学家之间的思想交叉授粉，将他们聚集在一个亲密的环境中，分享各自领域的最新发展。来自美国、欧洲和日本的34名特邀演讲者将从提交的摘要中选出其他简短的演讲。 特别注意吸收妇女、年轻人和少数民族调查员。8场口头会议和4场海报会议将通过在会议现场的非正式互动得到加强，以发展新的想法和合作关系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference, Regulation and Function of Small GTPases, will be the eighth in a series of FASEB summer research conferences devoted to the study of GTP-binding proteins that regulate normal cellular processes as diverse as proliferation, polarity, migration and gene expression, and that contribute to disease processes such as cancer. The conference will be held July 15-20, 2006, at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. These conferences have provided a unique forum for addressing important questions of cell biology that are regulated by members of the Ras superfamily. Originally divided into sessions according to GTPase subfamily, these conferences are now arranged around biological themes to enhance the principal objective, which is to stimulate cross-pollination of ideas among a diverse group of cell and structural biologists and biochemists by bringing them together in an intimate setting to share the latest developments in their fields. There are 34 invited speakers from the United States, Europe and Japan, with additional short presentations to be selected from submitted abstracts. Special attention has been paid to inclusion of women, and of young and minority investigators. The 8 oral sessions and 4 poster sessions will be enhanced by informal interactions at the conference site to develop new ideas and collaborative relationships.
