OverviewProtein targeting is the study of how proteins synthesized in one part of the cell reach their ultimate destination. A cell may have to guide a protein through several membranes into one of its organelles, or take up or secrete a protein through its cell wall. This book is a preview of the latest research in this area, which has applications for understanding cancer, studying diseases that result from faulty targeting, and genetic manipulation of microorganisms to target useful proteins.

Table of Contents1: Targeting precursor proteins to mitochondria 2: Protein transport to the nucleus and its regulation 3: Targeting and import of peroxisomal proteins 4: Protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum 5: ER-Golgi membrane traffic and protein targeting 6: Biogenesis of constitutive secretory vesicles, secretory granules and synaptic vesicles - facts and concepts 7: Protein sorting during endocytosisReviews'...is a very useful attempt to give an overview of the present state of knowledge and also to show where furhter progress is needed...This book should be read by anyone interested in the organisation and control of cell functions. The non specialist would find it an interesting book to scan through, while those with a more specialist interest would find it a useful addition to their shelves.' * P.J.Davey, Br.J.Boimed Sci 1998; 55. * Protein Targeting is an eminently readable book, by being brief, but maintaining attention to detail and by incorporating all the salient features of protein targeting mentioned above. It is as up to date as it can be for such a dynamic discipline ... a comprehensive volume informing the reader of everything they should ever want to know about eukaryotic protein targeting, but didn't know who or where to consult ... I recommend this book wholeheartedly and I am sure it will sit on the bookshelves of many cell biologists. It is an unusual scientific text in that you can actually read it rather than refer to it and it will certainly stimulate the desire for further reading. * Juliet A.
