In eukaryotic cells, newly synthesized protein for export is made in the rough endoplasmic
reticulum and then processed and packaged during passage through an elaborate series of
specialized membrane-bound com partments (Palade 1975). How are proteins distributed to
their correct locations among these membrane compartments? A non-selective bulk flow to
the cell surface exists (eg Sabatini et a11982; Pfeffer & Rothman 1987), while a small
number of sorting labels have been identified on lumenal proteins, which diverts them from …
