We are pleased to announce the meeting dates and confirmed participants
for the Third International Meeting on the Function of AAA proteins
Date: April 16 to April 19, 1999
Friday, April 16, is the official opening of the conference.
Registration will start at 9:00 am outside the Main Auditorium of the
Salk Institute (East Building; will be sign-posted). The first sessions
will start at 10:00 am in the morning that day. You may wish to arrive
on April 15 to get settled in your hotel.
Monday, April 19 is the day of departure. The last session will finish

Organization, Registration and Financing
We intend to organize lectures, poster presentations and discussions,
similar to the format given in the Second Conference. In addition to
invited speakers and participants, additional participants will be
selected by the organizers from applications received after advertising
the meeting. We like to invite everybody who works with proteins that
are members of the AAA family of ATPases.
A registration fee of $ 400 will be necessary to cover meeting expenses
and meals. Lodging will have to be paid separately by each attendee. We
will arrange hotel accommodation according to your preference for a
separate charge to allow for accommodation of spouses and families. It
is suggested that the participants try to get subsistence for travel
and stay through their national grant-giving institutions.

We have commitments from Drs. Wolfgang Baumeister (Max-Planck
Gesellschaft, Munich; archaebacterial AAA proteins), Michel Duguet
