Trafficking of Transporters

描述（由申请人提供）：支持将于2002年9月5-7日在伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室举行的普通生理学家学会第56届年度研讨会。2002年专题讨论会“运输蛋白的贩运”将介绍和讨论运输蛋白的生物发生、靶向和降解领域的最新进展，例如，离子通道、受体和转运蛋白。会议将重点关注正常细胞生物学事件和病理条件，可导致“折叠”疾病，如囊性纤维化和一些神经退行性疾病。这次研讨会是独一无二的，汇集了来自不同专业领域的领先细胞生物学家和神经生物学家，专注于转运蛋白的细胞生物学主题。在研讨会上，主要研究转运蛋白结构和功能的普通生理学家学会成员将与从不同角度研究转运蛋白的细胞生物学家和神经生物学家进行互动。因此，我们希望吸引细胞生物学家和细胞/分子神经生物学家以及生理学家的广泛受众。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the 56th Annual Symposium of the Society for General Physiologists to be held at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA on September 5-7, 2002. The 2002 Symposium, "The Trafficking of Transporters," will present and discuss recent progress in the area of the biogenesis, targeting and degradation of transport proteins, e.g., ion channels, receptors and transporters. The conference will focus on both normal cell biological events and pathological conditions that can lead to "folding" diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis and a number of neurodegenerative diseases. This symposium is unique in bringing together leading cell biologists and neurobiologists from diverse areas of expertise to focus on the subject of the cell biology of transport proteins. At the symposium, members of the Society of General Physiologists, who primarily study the structure and function of transport proteins, will interact with cell biologists and neurobiologists, who study transport proteins from a different perspective. Thus, we hope to attract a broad audience of cell biologists and cellular/molecular neurobiologists as well as physiologists.
