DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Eighth International Conference on Bacterial Locomotion and Signal Transduction (BLAST VIII) will be held January 16-20, 2005, in Boca Raton, Florida. The conference, which is expected to have 200-250 participants, will focus on the molecular mechanisms of sensing and response in prokaryotic systems. The meeting format is designed to foster extensive discussions of recent developments and ideas among researchers from the United States and abroad. Approximately 50 oral presentations and 100 posters will be included in the program, allowing virtually all laboratories working in this rapidly moving field to present their key findings. Scientific sessions will compare and contrast the sensory and locomotion systems of a variety of prokaryotes, focusing on each fundamental step in their signal transduction pathways: (a) transmembrane signaling by chemo- and photo-receptors; (b) signal transmission by intracellular phosphorelay cascades; (c) sensory control of cellular motility, gene expression, and development; and (d) the mechanics of cell motility. Bacterial sensory systems have important functions in microbial ecology and in pathogenesis, and also provide useful models for understanding analogous signaling systems that occur in many eukaryotes. The BLAST meeting has become the principal forum for investigators in this field to present their current findings and to discuss emerging concepts and generalizations concerning bacterial sensing and motility. A review of BLAST VIII will be published, which will summarize key findings presented at the meeting and provide a readily accessible overview of the present state of the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：第八届细菌运动和信号转导国际会议（BLAST VIII）将于2005年1月16日至20日在佛罗里达州的Boca Raton举行。该会议预计将有200-250名参与者，将重点关注原核系统感测和反应的分子机制。会议格式旨在促进对美国和国外研究人员的最新发展和思想的广泛讨论。该计划中将包含大约50个口头演示文稿和100张海报，几乎允许所有在这个快速移动的领域工作的实验室来展示其关键发现。科学会话将比较和对比多种原核生物的感觉和运动系统，重点关注其信号转导途径中的每个基本步骤：（a）化学和照相受体的跨膜信号传导； （b）细胞内磷酸盐级联的信号传递； （c）细胞运动，基因表达和发育的感觉控制； （d）细胞运动的力学。细菌感觉系统在微生物生态学和发病机理中具有重要功能，还为理解许多真核生物中发生的类似信号系统提供了有用的模型。爆炸会议已成为该领域调查人员的主要论坛，以介绍他们当前的发现，并讨论有关细菌感测和运动的新兴概念和概括。将发表对BLAST VIII的审查，该审查将概述会议上提出的关键发现，并提供有关该领域状态的易于访问的概述。
