项目摘要

This grant is for support of participants at a winter Gordon Conference on Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms. The conference, which is anticipated to have 110-135 attendees, will permit scientists from the United States and abroad to discuss recent developments and ideas regarding molecular mechanisms of sensory transduction in simple unicellular systems including bacteria, yeast, flagellates, and Dictyostelium. Sessions will emphasize the emerging generalizations regarding chemosensory and photosensory receptors, intramolecular transduction, intracellular signal processing, and the response processes, ranging from flagellar or pseudopod modulation in tactic cells to gene expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Homologies between microbial and higher animal signal transduction components will be emphasized. Sensory signal transduction is the key to the ability of an organism to perceive and respond appropriately to its environment. The mechanisms by which microbes perceive and respond to environmental stimuli are fascinating in their own right, and crucial to the survival of microbial species. In addition, they provide important clues to mechanims whereby higher organisms, both plant and animal, likewise perceive and respond appropriately to environmental stimuli.

这笔赠款是为了在冬季戈登（Gordon）关于微生物感官转导的会议上支持参与者。预计该会议将有110-135名与会者，将允许美国和国外的科学家讨论有关细菌，酵母，鞭毛和Dictyostelium在内的简单单细胞系统中感觉转导的分子机制的最新发展和思想。会议将强调有关化学感觉和光感受体，分子内转导，细胞内信号处理以及响应过程的新兴概括，从策略细胞中的鞭毛或假脚架调节到基因表达的原核和真核生物生物体的基因表达。将强调微生物和较高动物信号转导组件之间的同源性。感觉信号转导是生物体能够感知和适当响应其环境的能力的关键。微生物感知和对环境刺激反应的机制本身就引人入胜，对微生物物种的存活至关重要。此外，它们为机械提供了重要的线索，即植物和动物的较高生物同样可以感知并适当地对环境刺激做出反应。
