DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The FASEB 2010 meeting entitled "Nucleic Acid Enzymes" will focus on the structures, mechanisms, biological roles, and medical relevance of enzymes that are composed of, and/or act on DNA and RNA. The meeting attracts a broad cross-disciplinary group of scientists with expertise in structural biology, biochemistry, and cell biology. This meeting will be the 8th sponsored by the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) in this area; the most recent was in 2008. The meeting provides a unique forum for discussion of enzymes that are composed of or act on nucleic acids, the central role of DNA and RNA enzymology in biotechnology, and the metabolic disorders and diseases in which nucleic acid enzymes are implicated. By gathering structural biologists, biochemists, chemists, cell biologists and clinicians-groups that often do not speak to each other-new interests, new insights and interdisciplinary collaboration are fostered. The Scientific Program will consist of nine sessions of oral presentations by distinguished invited speakers, junior faculty, and student poster talks in the following subject areas: (1, 2) Phosphodiester hydrolysis; (3) Phosphoryl transfer; (4, 5) Nucleic acid processing and modification; (6, 7) Motors, Machines and Translocation; (8) Polymerization reactions; and (9) Emerging Methods, Approaches, and Areas. Importantly, we will feature young investigators throughout the meeting, rather than in a single session as in the past; this will be done so that these investigators can receive full exposure to their more senior colleagues. The organizers have recruited leading investigators to serve as discussion leaders for these sessions. The Program will also include four poster sessions, from which outstanding posters from graduate students, post-doc, and other faculty attendees will be selected for short oral presentations. To foster a 'fresh' approach and significant intellectual turnover and renewal, the majority of invited speakers are new to the meeting, and a significant percentage are junior faculty and women in science. The FASEB 2010 meeting aims to have sessions that are broadly enough defined that PIs from different fields will interact in one session. We feel that this is the best means to catalyze fresh exchange of ideas among the attendees. For example, in most cases the biology of DNA and RNA enzymes are quite distinct; however, the tools and approaches are similar and therefore sessions that cross areas defined by the biology provide fertile ground for exchange of ideas. The intimate format of the conference will promote free exchange of information and ideas among researchers working on diverse aspects of RNA and DNA enzymes, thereby expediting research in both fields. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Enzymes that act on nucleic acids are indispensable components of basic research and biotechnology; they are also taking on prominent roles in medicine as the analysis and manipulation of DNA and RNA from patients is integrated into the diagnosis, prognostic stratification, and choice of therapy in human disease states, especially cancers. Aberrations of nucleic acid enzymology that result in the loss of fidelity in replication, repair, and transcription are linked directly to human carcinogenesis. RNA plays a central role in human disease through small RNAs, transcription, and translation fidelity and regulation.

描述（由申请人提供）：FASEB 2010年题为“核酸酶”的会议将重点讨论由DNA和RNA组成和/或作用于DNA和RNA的酶的结构、机制、生物学作用和医学相关性。会议吸引了广泛的跨学科科学家小组，具有结构生物学，生物化学和细胞生物学方面的专业知识。这次会议将是美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）在这一领域主办的第8次会议;最近一次是在2008年。会议提供了一个独特的论坛，讨论由核酸组成或作用于核酸的酶，DNA和RNA酶学在生物技术中的中心作用，以及涉及核酸酶的代谢紊乱和疾病。通过聚集结构生物学家，生物化学家，化学家，细胞生物学家和临床医生，往往不说话的群体，新的利益，新的见解和跨学科的合作得到培养。科学计划将包括九个会议的口头报告，由杰出的特邀演讲者，初级教师，和学生海报讲座在以下主题领域：（1，2）磷酸二酯水解;（3）磷酰基转移;（4，5）核酸加工和修改;（6，7）电机，机器和易位;（8）聚合反应;（1，2）磷酸二酯水解;（3）磷酸转移;（4，5）核酸加工和修饰;（6，7）电机，机器和易位;（8）聚合反应;（1，2）磷酸二酯水解;（1，3）磷酸转移;（1，4）核酸转移;（1，5）核酸转移;（1，4）核酸转移;（1，5）核酸转移。（9）新兴方法、途径和领域。重要的是，我们将在整个会议期间，而不是像过去那样在一次会议上，让年轻的调查员参加;这样做是为了让这些调查员能够充分接触他们的资深同事。组织者招募了主要的调查人员担任这些会议的讨论领导人。该计划还将包括四个海报会议，从研究生，博士后和其他教师与会者的优秀海报将被选为简短的口头报告。为了促进“新鲜”的方法和显着的智力周转和更新，大多数受邀发言人是新的会议，和一个显着的比例是初级教师和妇女在科学。FASEB 2010会议的目的是有足够广泛的定义，来自不同领域的PI将在一个会议上互动的会议。我们认为，这是促进与会者之间进行新的思想交流的最佳手段。例如，在大多数情况下，DNA和RNA酶的生物学是完全不同的;然而，工具和方法是相似的，因此，跨生物学定义的领域的会议为思想交流提供了肥沃的土壤。会议的亲密形式将促进从事RNA和DNA酶各个方面工作的研究人员之间的信息和想法的自由交流，从而加快这两个领域的研究。 公共卫生关系：作用于核酸的酶是基础研究和生物技术不可或缺的组成部分;它们在医学中也发挥着重要作用，因为对患者DNA和RNA的分析和操作被整合到人类疾病状态，特别是癌症的诊断，预后分层和治疗选择中。核酸酶学的畸变导致复制、修复和转录的保真度丧失，与人类致癌作用直接相关。RNA通过小RNA、转录和翻译保真度和调节在人类疾病中发挥核心作用。
