Abstract

The successful implementation of a genetic program requires that upon completion of translation polypeptides released from ribosomes are transferred to their final destination in the cell This appears to be a rather formidable process since, in a eukaryotic cell, the fate of a protein can be at least as diverse as the membranous structures within the cell and the subcellular compartments which they separate. For many proteins, these subcellular compartments serve only as the initial destination; transfer to another compartment or export from the cell may be their ultimate fate.
