Initial priorities were identified as the support of "Preliminary work on sequencing of the schistosome genome....... with the longer term aim of concentrating efforts on characterization of target areas of the genome". Since then, a variety of gene discovery and physical mapping approaches have been initiated for both S. mansoni and S. japonicum. WHO have asked Network members to meet together again, this summer, to review progress and to plan for the future. The meeting's aims include (1) to review specific progress and future plans within each of the existing WHO-funded projects (2) to examine problems that have been encountered and explore ways to overcome them (3) to foster existing collaborations and communication (4) to encourage other members of the Schistosome Research Community to join the Network, to participate in its research activities and to exploit existing results and resources (5) to discuss the future development of the Network and the future direction(s) of the Genome Project (6) to determine data management priorities (within WHO's existing framework). The meeting is being organised by Mette Strand (Network Chair), David Johnston (Network Secretary) and Jucara Parra (Local Organiser, Centro de Pesquisas Rene Rachou, Av. Augusto de Lima, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, email jparra@cenargen.embrapa.br, fax 55-31-295-3115). We initially scheduled the meeting to be held in Ouro Preto, Brasil from 31st July to 2nd August (delegates arriving 30th July, departing 3rd August), planning to include the proceedings of the meeting in a report to be submitted to WHO by 25th August. However, due to the deadline for submission of NEW applications (23rd July), we are investigating whether it will be possible to bring the meeting forward by approximately one month (we apologise that, if the meeting is rescheduled for the end of June, it will be such short notice). Further details, a definite date and location and a specific agenda will be posted in the next few days WHO's workplan for the Schistosoma Genome Initiative is reproduced below (for the full text, see gopher://gopher.who.ch:70/00/.anonymousftp/programme/tdr/docbase/workplan/par_geno.tx t (or access via http://www.who.org/programmes/WHOProgrammes.html under TDR gopher information)). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WHO WORKPLAN START RATIONALE The Parasite Genome Committee was created for coordination of research on the analysis and mapping of genomes of the TDR target parasites. The sequenced genome map of the parasite will provide a powerful tool for identification and cloning of target genes for vaccines, diagnostics and drug development. Understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance and various functions of the parasite is enormously facilitated with known genome sequence. Development of physical maps is the first step and a one-time investment to serve the scientific community. It is understood, that TDR can provide only a fraction of the funds required for such high technology research, therefore, a close collaboration with other institutions would be necessary. OBJECTIVES The activities of the Parasite Genome Committee are carried out by five networks corresponding to the target parasites: Filaria, Leishmania, Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi and Schistosoma. Malaria and leprosy are not included because there are independent networks for the Plasmodium and M. leprae genomes which are being supported outside TDR. Each network has a workplan that has been agreed upon by the Committee. In all the networks, much emphasis will be put on the development of a common database system, and on the training and participation of Disease Endemic Country (DEC) scientists, to produce low resolution maps of the genome of the five parasites and promote gene manipulation techniques. PROGRESS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES During the first year of Parasite Genome activity, five networks have been set up and consolidated. Planning meetings have been held to select parasite strains for research and to draw up guidelines towards attaining the Programme's objectives. All networks successfully fulfilled an important task to construct parasite stage specific cDNA and large fragment genome libraries (YAC, BAC, Cosmids). Thousands of EST and chromosome markers have been obtained and the process of chromosome mapping was initiated. Significant expansion of these activities is expected during the next biennium, in the hope that with the introduction of high precision robotics the genomes of the representative parasites will be sequenced within the next 5 years. POSSIBILITIES FOR COLLABORATION IN WORKPLAN OBJECTIVES Research proposals with budgets up to US$50 000 addressing one of the objectives mentioned above are invited. Projects are funded for three years after which investigators should reapply, either for a continuation or for a new line of research. At this point, competitive proposals are encouraged to assure continuation of particularly interesting research leads but the Committee will not fund parallel work at different institutions. Interested investigators should consult with the Committee manager before applying. HOW TO APPLY Researchers interested in collaborating in the above mentioned activities should request application forms from the Communications department of TDR.

Development of Genome Databank -Standardize information and create genomic database available via Internet---To be created in 1996 WHO WORKPLAN END ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WHO are very keen to encourage growth of the Network, and to receive applications for new projects/new collaborations for the third year of the Initiative (January 1997 onwards). If your group is interested in joining the Network, submitting an application, contacting potential collaborators, or attending the meeting, please will you write, fax or eMail David Johnston (Dept. of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK, tel 44 171 9389297, fax 44 171 938 8754, eMail daj@nhm.ac.uk) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to register your interest. Jucara Parra will be in London from 7/5/96 to 20/5/95 and we hope to be able to formalise most of the plans for the meeting during her visit. Further details, a definite date and location and a specific agenda will be circulated in the next few days. Financial arrangements are still to be finalised, however, WHO have set aside a sum of money to help cover meeting costs and FIOCRUZ have generously offered to help sponsor accommodation and food. It is therefore hoped that we will be able to partially assist new groups to attend the meeting, join the Network and participate in new collaborative grant applications.

We would like to initiate a discussion within the schisto community to consider all of the data and current opinion related to these issues. The following are a few of the issues that we suggest as a starting point for discussion. For each issue, we follow with a brief summary of selected relevant results from the literature, some of our own results where they contribute, and some proposed questions to discuss: Issue 1. How is sugar taken up by schistosomes from the host? Early work showed that adults consume huge quantities of host hexose which is taken up across the adult schistosome tegument. Some controversy remains whether uptake is entirely by passive diffusion or has an active transport component. Other work indicated that males absorb sugar and pass it to females. We have identified two functional schistosome facilitated diffusion glucose transporters that localize in the tegument, a basal membrane transporter, SGTP1, and an apical membrane transporter, SGTP4 (PNAS, in press). SGTP4 protein is rapidly synthesized and deposited on the somula surface coincident with cercarial transformation. It is located within both bilayers of the apical membrane, at least in adults (EP, in press). Males and females appear to have similar levels of these transporters distributed equally on the dorsal and ventral surfaces. Our results therefore indicate that a single facilitated glucose transporter could be responsible for movement from host blood into the tegumental cytoplasm. Based on the similar distribution of glucose transporters (and glucose metabolic enzymes) within males and females, our data do not support (nor rule out) the transfer of glucose from males to females. Suggested discussion questions: A. Do schistosomes use active transport to absorb sugar from the host? B. Do schistosomes take up any glucose via the gut? In vivo? C. Do females need males to obtain much of their glucose, and if so, why? Issue 2: What happens to the host glucose after absorption from the host? Clearly glucose must be phosphorylated by hexokinase to trap it within the parasite and some results suggest that hexokinase is the rate limiting step in glucose metabolism. We find that SGTP1 is localized in the basal membranes of the tegument and underlying muscle, suggesting that a part of the glucose transported through the apical membrane remains unphosphorylated until it is transported again through the basal membrane. Certainly a significant share of glucose is needed by the tegument for protein and membrane biosynthesis and some is needed internally such as by muscle and reproduction organs. But schistosomes are thought to lack a body fluid and, as most tissues (with the exception of the vitellaria and the gonads) are reportedly syncytial, the mechanism of internal nutrient distribution remains unclear. This topic is complicated by the large, metabolically active glycogen reserves present in the parasites. Suggested discussion questions: A. Where in the worm, and in what proportion, is the glucose utilized? B. How is glucose passed between the internal tissues of the worm? C. What is the function of glycogen in adult schistosomes? Issue 3: How do schistosomes metabolize glucose at different stages and why? Cercariae clearly perform oxidative glucose metabolism and newly transformed somula do not. Early reports suggested that adults used only anaerobic glucose fermentation, but more recent data supports the use of oxidative metabolic processes in adults. Suggested discussion questions: A. How does it benefit schistosomes to shut down oxidative metabolism upon cercarial transformation? B. How does it benefit adults to use limited (at best) oxidative glucose metabolism? We hope interested members of the schisto community will contribute to a dialogue on these issues and add additional issues to the discussion. Dr. Patrick J. Skelly and Dr. Charles B.

Date: 19 May 1996 02:00:30 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 154 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199605190900.CAA26339@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net BIOSCI is about halfway to its funding goal!! I'm interrupting the usual monthly posting of the BIOSCI miniFAQ to bring you up to date on BIOSCI fundraising progress, a topic of concern to your future use of this resource. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this message carefully. Last year we announced that BIOSCI was going to adopt the U.S. Public Broadcasting System model to fund its operations after our DOE/NSF grant runs out later this year. Unlike PBS, we are not soliciting contributions from users; we are only selling ads on our Web pages solely to cover our operating costs. Our goal is to seek sponsorships until we build up an operating reserve of about $100,000 and then cease further promotions until we need to build the reserve back up. (The accountants among our readership will be familiar with the problem of deferred revenue which we can not safely utilize until ads have been displayed for a period of time.) We are only about halfway to our funding goal and need to raise further funds to avoid having to curtail services at net.bio.net. Fundraising is time-consuming, however, and we need your help as explained further below. Our operating costs consist of our network connection, phone lines, hardware maintenance (we will be getting newer and faster hardware soon!), plus 0.7 FTE of salaries covering UNIX systems admin, technical support, quality assurance, i.e., testing, of our system, and administrative costs (such as the time it takes to actually find/write/call potential sponsors and raise money!). Although the BIOSCI staff does get compensated for a portion of the work that they do, this project has always received a lot of free after-hours and "vacation" time labor, so we hope that no one will begrudge the time that we do charge to the project to serve you. All of the three part-time staff members, Dave Mack, Julie Lawrence, and myself, have full time day jobs and families in addition to working hard to keep this service running for all of you. Julie and Dave Mack are subcontractors for BIOSCI; my time that is charged to the project defrays a portion of my regular salary instead of adding to my income. Besides having to relocate the project, we were very busy this last year building new infrastructure such as our WWW hypermail interface to the system. This was released last December along with scores of WAIS indices for the newsgroups. Virtually everything is complete, although we do continue to find and fix bugs (many through your helpful feedback!). We are still having some problems with our WAIS indexing. The archives continue to grow rapidly. We are running over 100 indexes now versus three previously and any systems crashes cause greater havoc with the indexing than before! We are still working to fix this as fast as our resources permit and appreciate your patience, but we have been able to automate a lot of the infrastructure to reduce labor as compared to past requirements. We have also implemented new software to make moderation of BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups much easier and combat the growing problem of Internet junk mail and USENET "spamming." About 20% of our groups are now moderated, many of them by the BIOSCI staff! This, for example, made a major difference last year in the quality of content in our EMPLOYMENT/bionet.jobs.offered newsgroup which many commercial concerns and recruiting firms are using **without charge** to recruit candidates for positions in the biological sciences. We are also now in a position to have sponsors for individual newsgroups as you will have noticed if you have visited http://www.bio.net/ and clicked on "Access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups" recently. So, how can you help?? ---------------------- As noted above it can take a lot of time to contact potential sponsors if I have to do it all myself. Our request is quite simple. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can now post or reply to messages via your Web browser. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. Our hope is to quickly raise several large corporate/institutional sponsors on our heavily-used WWW locations (some stats appended below), and then end this sponsorship campaign so that our resources can continue to be used for service provision, not fundraising. Many of our specialty newsgroup WWW archives are still used by small communities of scientists (and they haven't been heavily promoted yet). While these may be valuable niche markets to some advertisers, it will generate more labor and overhead having to find these sponsors, fairly price the locations, and deal with lots of smaller sponsorships than fewer mid-to large sponsors. We are striving to keep our operation as lean and efficient as possible since we are not trying to make careers out of running BIOSCI. We are trying if at all possible to avoid the administrative overhead entailed with processing lots of small payments to reach our fundraising goals. I'd like to thank all of you for your help in advance. In helping us, you are also helping yourselves, not only in keeping this resource available for all of the both large and small research communities that we serve, but also by alleviating the need for us to go back and compete with researchers for tight grant dollars! We promised NSF when we were awarded the BIOSCI grant that we would carry out this mission to make the service self-supporting. With your help, we will succeed in continuing BIOSCI's work into its second decade. Thank you very much!
