We are pleased to announce the Fourth ZOMES conference, which will be held at Yale University campus in the summer of 2006. ZOMES-IV aims at bringing together scientists from diverse fields and expertise whose research relates to the structure and function of the COP9 signalosome (CSN), the 19S proteasome, eIF3, as well as the Nedd8/Rub1 conjugation pathway, CSN5/Jab1, and the COP/DET/FUS/HP(DDB) gene clusters.
ZOMES-IV will build on the past ZOMES-I, ZOMES-II, and ZOMES-III conferences held in Europe, and will continue the tradition of encouraging participation of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, and providing opportunities to meet with scientists from different field and genetic systems. While a number of speakers have been invited, many of the oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts.
Topics:
- Structure and enzymology of CSN, proteasome and eIF3
- Nedd8/Rub1
- Function of CSN5/JAB1
- Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases
- CSN-associated protein kinases and cell signaling
- COP1, DET1, DDB1, and the CDD complex
- Cell cycle and checkpoint regulation by CSN, proteasome and eIF3
- CSN, proteasome, eIF3, and Nedd8/Rub in development and human diseases
