Program
The members of the Organizing Committee are currently working on a program that will bring together leading experts in the related fields of CSN, proteasome, and eIF3. We are particularly interested in the following topics:
-Mechanism of SCF
-Functions and interactions of CAND1 and Nedd8
-Targets of Nedd8/Rub1 modification
-DeNeddylation enzymes
-Biological targets of the CSN action
-Role of CSN in human disease
-Structure and function of the PCI and MPN proteins
-Interactions between eIF3, CSN and proteasome
-Proteasome auxiliary factors and regulation of the proteasome activity
-Links between Ribosome and the ubiquitin/proteasome system
In addition to the invited speakers, many oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
In addition, we are planning a "Best Poster Award", so that postdocs and graduate students are encouraged to apply!. Please be sure that you have to present a "Poster" to be nominated for this award (you can do both oral and poster presentation if you will).
