[MIST Membership Roster] [MIST Meeting Rosters]

MIST reviews focus on basic molecular mechanisms of cellular signaling. The applications are on the biochemical and structural mechanisms of signal transduction, including G-proteins, seven-transmembrane protein (7TM) coupled receptors, and their regulation. MIST also reviews the associated kinases, phosphatases and lipid signaling mechanisms and cross-talk with other pathways. Integrative studies may involve a variety of organisms that advance the field whether uni- or multi-cellular, bacterial or mammalian. Specific Areas include:

• Biochemical and structural mechanisms of receptor signal
  transduction, including G-proteins and 7TM receptors.
• Protein-protein interactions among signaling molecules.
• Serine and tyrosine protein kinases associated with signal transduction mechanisms.
• Protein phosphatases associated with signal transduction mechanisms.
• Second messengers including lipid signaling molecules.
• Related metabolic studies including drugs and inhibitors.
• Regulatory mechanisms controlling signaling including regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins.
• Calcium signaling mechanisms including structure/regulation of calcium channels and cellular organization of calcium signals.
• Computer simulations and modeling of signaling complexes and pathway components.
