- Title
Organellar proteomics: turning inventories into insights.

- Abstract
Subcellular organization is yielding to large-scale analysis. Researchers are now applying robust mass-spectrometry-based proteomics methods to obtain an inventory of biochemically isolated organelles that contain hundreds of proteins. High-resolution methods allow accurate protein identification, and novel algorithms can distinguish genuine from co-purifying components. Organellar proteomes have been analysed by bioinformatic methods and integrated with other large-scale data sets. The dynamics of organelles can also be studied by quantitative proteomics, which offers powerful methods that are complementary to fluorescence-based microscopy. Here, we review the emerging trends in this rapidly expanding area and discuss the role of organellar proteomics in the context of functional genomics and systems biology.
