Ubiquitin and Cellular Regulation

描述（由申请人提供）：FASEB夏季会议题为“泛素和细胞调控”将于2006年7月22日至27日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。该会议每两年举行一次，并要求为2006年、2008年和2010年召开的下三次会议提供部分资金。该会议是泛素领域最重要和持续时间最长的会议。它自1989年以来一直举行，当时研究泛素的研究人员数量增长到临界质量。随着该领域的迅速扩展，会议已经发展到关注最新和最重要的发展。最近几次会议都超额认购，取得了成功；73% - 99%的参与者认为最后两次会议在他们参加过的会议中排名前10%。许多该领域的新发言者被包括在内，并且缩短了谈话时间，以便能够介绍广泛的新研究。这些公约将在2006年继续进行，预计它们将再次受到发言者和非发言者的欢迎。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A FASEB Summer Conference entitled 'Ubiquitin and Cellular Regulation' will be held July 22 - 27, 2006, at Vermont Academy, Saxtons River, Vermont. This conference is held biennially and partial funding for the conference is requested for the next three conferences to be convened in 2006, 2008, and 2010. The conference is the leading and longest -standing meeting in the ubiquitin field. It has been held since 1989, when the number of investigators working on ubiquitin grew to a critical mass. The conference has evolved as the field has rapidly expanded to focus on the newest and most significant developments. The last several meetings were oversubscribed and successful; 73 - 99% of participants rated the last two meetings in the top 10% of meetings they had ever attended. Many speakers new to the field were included and the talks were shortened so that a wide range of new research could be presented. These conventions will be continued in 2006, anticipating that they will again be well received by speakers and non-speakers. The field of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins continues to grow at a striking pace as individuals in other fields find a crucial role for ubiquitin, the ubiquitination machinery, and ubiquitin-binding proteins in their targets of study. In some cases, insights from new individuals have moved the whole field forward dramatically and these cases emphasize the importance of bringing people together at this type of meeting. The growing connections between ubiquitination and human disease are well recognized, and it is estimated that over 5% of mammalian genomes are devoted to ubiquitination. The meeting will highlight breaking advances both in the choice of invited speakers and in multiple talks selected from abstracts. Special attention will be made to give the floor to new, junior, and underrepresented groups of investigators. The location of the conference at a relatively remote school in Vermont encourages interaction among all participants and this conference has an outstanding tradition of intense poster sessions. Based on past years, the conference will be oversubscribed; however, to foster strong interactions between participants the conference is limited to 180 participants.
