PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Protein lipidation is a central process in cellular function. Lipidated proteins play critical roles in numerous human diseases including cancer, infectious disease and age-related disorders. We request funds to partially support the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) conference on “Protein Lipidation: Enzymology, Signaling and Therapeutics” that will be held from July 7 – July 12, 2019 at St. Bonaventure University, Olean, NY. Historically, this meeting has brought together scientists in fields ranging from mechanisms and consequences of acylation, prenylation, and post-prenylation processing of proteins, the synthesis and transport of intracellular lipids, and the importance of protein-lipid interactions for cellular signaling in specialized membrane domains. This meeting is the only international venue where these broad but closely interrelated topics are discussed at length and is the first choice for many scientists. As the field has grown over the past fourteen years, it has become highly interdisciplinary and this unique meeting allows scientists from different areas of specialization, ranging from synthetic chemistry to clinical medicine, to come together and discuss new ideas and form new collaborations. Our confirmed keynote speaker is Frank McCormick, University of California at San Francisco who will present a lecture entitled “Targeting Ras and the Ras Initiative”. The conference is organized around four interrelated themes. First, it will showcase recent advances in structural biology and enzymology of enzymes involved in protein lipid modification. Second, new developments concerning the roles of lipid modifications in various physiological processes and diseases will be reported including cancer, infectious disease and age-related disorders. Third, new methodologies for studying protein lipidation and lipidated proteins will be presented. Finally, recent therapeutic efforts targeting protein lipidation will be reported. There will be 9 sessions and 36 speakers including 11 short talks. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will give two-thirds of the short talks, with the other third given by new investigators. We will also include a “Research Snapshots” session in which 10-15 students and postdoctoral fellows who brought posters but were not selected for short talks in the main program will be invited to give a 2 minute elevator pitch. To further increase our impact on students and postdoctoral fellows, two additional events will be held including a career development session and a meet-the-expert session where experts in four areas including chemistry, cell biology, structural biology and animal-based research will answer questions. The funds requested for this meeting will be used primarily to support graduate student and postdoc travel grants and to support the attendance of young investigators and session chairs.

项目摘要/摘要 蛋白质脂化是细胞功能的中心过程。脂肪蛋白在许多中起关键作用 人类疾病，包括癌症，传染病和与年龄有关的疾病。我们要求资金部分 支持美国实验生物学社会联合会（FASEB）关于“蛋白质的会议”会议 脂质：将于2019年7月7日至7月12日在圣 Bonaventure University，纽约州奥兰市。从历史上看，这次会议将科学家汇集了 蛋白质的机理和后果，原始化和丙烯基化处理， 细胞内脂质的合成和转运，以及蛋白质脂质相互作用对细胞的重要性 在专门的膜结构域中发出信号。这次会议是唯一广泛的国际场所 但是，详细讨论了密切相互关联的主题，这是许多科学家的首选。因为该领域有 在过去的十四年中，它已经变得高度跨学科，这次独特的会议允许 来自不同专业领域的科学家，范围从合成化学到临床医学， 共同讨论新想法并组成新的合作。我们确认的主题演讲者是弗兰克 麦考密克，加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校，将举行题为“针对拉斯和 RAS倡议”。会议围绕四个相互关联的主题组织。首先，它将展示最近 参与蛋白质脂质修饰的酶的结构生物学和酶学的进展。第二，新的 关于脂质修饰在各种物理过程和疾病中的作用的发展将 报道包括癌症，传染病和与年龄有关的疾病。第三，新方法 研究蛋白质脂化和脂化蛋白将提出。最后，最近针对的治疗努力 将报道蛋白质脂化。将有9次会议和36位演讲者，其中包括11个简短的演讲。毕业 学生和博士后研究员将进行简短的谈判的三分之二，而新的三分之一 调查人员。我们还将包括一个“研究快照”会议，其中10-15名学生和博士后 带来海报但没有被选中主题简短谈判的研究员将被邀请给2 微小的电梯俯仰。为了进一步增加我们对学生和博士后研究员的影响，另外两个 活动将举行，包括职业发展会议和举行会议，专家 四个领域，包括化学，细胞生物学，结构生物学和基于动物的研究，将回答问题。 要求本次会议的资金将主要用于支持研究生和博士后旅行 赠款并支持年轻的调查员和会议主席的出席。
