Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to invite you to participate in ZOMES III Meeting on COP9 signalosome, Proteasome and eIF3: At the interface between signaling & proteolysis, to be held at Berliner Ring Hotel, Berlin (Dahlewitz) Germany, 9 - 12 May, 2004. 

The program will focus on topics listed in General Information. We are looking forward to discuss recent data on ZOMES-ZOMES interactions, ubiquitin ligase regulation and ZOMES function in cell cycle control, translation and DNA repair. 

ZOMES III follows the tradition of the ZOMES I and ZOMES II conferences and encourages participants to present their unpublished data and to continue our open fruitful discussion.

We expect the participation of senior scientists, postdocs and graduate students who are active in the field of ZOMES. As seen in the list of confirmed speakers, we will bring together for the third time, a diverse set of scientists for whom this would be an unrivaled opportunity to meet researchers from outside their narrow fields, yet closely linked by the common biological pathways they work on. 
For this reason, there will be space for an intimate feeling conductive of informal interactions. 

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring and memorable meeting.

With best wishes,

Wolfgang Dubiel
Head, Organizing Committee
