Scientific Meeting: Bacterial Locomotion and Signal Transduction IV to be held January 9-13, 1997, in Cuernavaca, Mexico

[603198]本次国际会议将集中讨论简单细菌系统中传感和运动的分子机制。会议的形式旨在促进来自美国和国外的研究人员对最近的发展和想法进行广泛的讨论。该计划将包括大约60个口头报告和150个海报，允许在该领域工作的所有实验室展示他们的主要发现。科学会议将比较和对比各种原核生物的感觉和运动系统，重点关注其信号转导途径的每一步：跨膜信号转导，细胞内级联的信号转导，细胞运动和基因表达的感觉控制，以及细胞运动的机制。在过去的几年里，这个会议为有关细菌传感和运动的新兴概念提供了一个重要的论坛，并首次介绍了在原核生物中普遍存在的信号蛋白家族的结构和功能的分子细节，现在也在真核细胞中发现。* * *

9603198 Falke This international conference will focus on the molecular mechanisms of sensing and movement in simple bacterial systems. The format of the meeting is designed to foster extensive discussions of recent developments and ideas among researchers from the U.S. and abroad. Approximately 60 oral presentations and 150 posters will be included in the program, allowing all laboratories working in this field to present their key findings. Scientific sessions will compare and contrast the sensory and locomotor systems of a variety of prokaryotes focusing on each step in their signal transduction pathways: transmembrane signaling, signal transduction by intracellular cascades, sensory control of cellular motility and gene expression, and the mechanics of cell motility. In previous years this meeting has provided an important forum for emerging concepts concerning bacterial sensing and motility, and has presented the first molecular details of the structure and function of a family of signaling proteins that are pervasive in prokaryotic organisms and are now found in eukaryotic cells as well. ***
