DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks support for the 19th Bacterial Cell Surfaces Gordon Conference, which will be held from June 27 to July 2, 2010 at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. The meeting focuses on the biogenesis, structure and function of bacterial envelopes and surfaces, including bacterial membranes, cell walls, and surface appendages and polymers. This conference presents a diverse program in topics, model systems, and approaches combining biochemistry, molecular genetics, structural biology, biophysics, imaging and modeling. There will be 9 sessions on topics related to 1) peptidoglycan cell walls, 2) outer membranes, 3) signal sensing and transduction, 4) cell morphogenesis, 5) cell envelope stress and periplasm, 6) protein localization and secretion, 7) microbial communities and antibiotics, 8) transport, and 9) extracellular organelles and surface structures. The objectives of this conference are to: 1) present the latest and most exciting research in these areas by bringing together a diverse group of scientists with respect to approaches, expertise, experimental model, and seniority; 2) generate new ideas and stimulate intellectual exchange between this diverse group of investigators; and 3) provide opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present their work in short-talk or poster format and to interact with leaders in the field. The traditional format of the Gordon Research Conferences, with programmed discussion sessions and opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, conveys a collegial atmosphere where interactions between attendees are easily attained. Although the science presented is basic in nature, the topics of this multi- faceted conference are of practical interest to the biomedical community in the areas of pathogenesis, antibiotic action and resistance, and host-microbe interactions, as many of these phenomena involve processes at the level of membranes, cell walls and cell surface. This conference will thus provide a platform for future developments of vaccine and antibacterial strategies. The overall theme of the conference is the structure, function and biogenesis of the bacterial cell envelope and surface, which are intimately associated with bacterial pathogenesis as well as resistance to major antibacterial agents. This conference will bring prominent and junior scientists together to present their latest research and to spur collaboration and exchange of ideas and knowledge in a conducive environment.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案寻求对第19届细菌细胞表面戈登会议的支持，该会议将于2010年6月27日至7月2日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行。会议的重点是细菌包膜和表面的生物起源，结构和功能，包括细菌膜，细胞壁，表面附属物和聚合物。本次会议提出了一个多样化的主题，模型系统和方法相结合的生物化学，分子遗传学，结构生物学，生物物理学，成像和建模计划。将有9个会议的主题涉及1）肽聚糖细胞壁，2）外膜，3）信号传感和转导，4）细胞形态发生，5）细胞包膜应力和周质，6）蛋白质定位和分泌，7）微生物群落和抗生素，8）运输，和9）细胞外细胞器和表面结构。本次会议的目标是：1）通过汇集方法，专业知识，实验模型和资历方面的不同科学家群体，展示这些领域最新和最令人兴奋的研究; 2）产生新的想法，并促进这一不同研究人员群体之间的知识交流; 3）为研究生和博士后研究员提供机会，以简短的谈话或海报形式展示他们的工作，并与该领域的领导人互动。戈登研究会议的传统形式，与程序化的讨论会和下午和晚上的非正式聚会的机会，传达了一个合议的氛围，与会者之间的互动很容易实现。虽然提出的科学是基本的性质，这个多方面的会议的主题是在发病机理，抗生素作用和耐药性，宿主-微生物相互作用等领域的生物医学界的实际利益，因为许多这些现象涉及在膜，细胞壁和细胞表面水平的过程。因此，本次会议将为疫苗和抗菌策略的未来发展提供一个平台。 会议的总体主题是细菌细胞包膜和表面的结构、功能和生物发生，这些与细菌的发病机制以及对主要抗菌剂的耐药性密切相关。这次会议将汇集杰出和初级科学家，展示他们的最新研究，并在有利的环境中促进合作以及思想和知识的交流。
