The process of directing proteins towards the peroxisome, usually using signals contained within the protein. The process of directing proteins towards and into the mitochondrion, usually mediated by mitochondrial proteins that recognize signals contained within the imported protein. The directed movement of substances within a cell. The process of targeting specific proteins to particular membrane-bounded subcellular organelles. Usually requires an organelle specific protein sequence motif. The directed movement of proteins into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of a protein from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. The directed movement of proteins in a cell, including the movement of proteins between specific compartments or structures within a cell, such as organelles of a eukaryotic cell. The process of directing proteins towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using signals contained within the protein. One common mechanism uses a 16- to 30-residue signal sequence, typically located at the N-terminus of the protein and containing positively charged amino acids followed by a continuous stretch of hydrophobic residues, which directs the ribosome to the ER membrane and initiates transport of the growing polypeptide across the ER membrane. The process of directing proteins towards the chloroplast, usually using signals contained within the protein. Imported proteins are synthesized as cytosolic precursors containing N-terminal uptake-targeting sequences that direct each protein to its correct subcompartment and are subsequently cleaved. The process of directing proteins towards a membrane, usually using signals contained within the protein. The directed movement of a protein from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. The process of directing proteins towards the vacuole, usually using signals contained within the protein. Any process by which a protein is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location at the level of a cell. Localization at the cellular level encompasses movement within the cell, from within the cell to the cell surface, or from one location to another at the surface of a cell. The process of directing proteins towards the Golgi; usually uses signals contained within the protein.
