Proteins often show alterations in their subcellular localization with changing environmental conditions; transcription factors enter the nucleus or are actively removed from the nucleus; some even bind to endo-membranes by conditional membrane anchors; and other proteins and mRNA arrange in RNA granules. These are some examples of the complex regulation of subcellular localization, which often depends on posttranslational modifications and is triggered by environmental stressors. The challenge is the precise identification of the compartments, the quantitative analysis of proteins, which reside in multiple compartments, and their transport dynamics. Therefore, appropriate compartment markers and routines for a reproducible quantitative workflow are required. © 2024.
