A selected summary of diverse organelle-directing motifs. Diverse targeting methods of differing provenance exist for the following: the nucleus,48,119122 including those based on classical Hoechst “stain”;123 the ER via C-terminal signal KDEL,124 eeyarestatin,125 N-terminal signal CYPIIC1,126 or others;127 the cell surface via localization signals (e.g., LCK1–10128), biomarker binding (e.g., “covalent” aptamers129 or lectins130), or metabolically labeled residues (e.g., glycans131 and lipids132,133); the lysosome;134,135 the mitochondrion136,137 via aryl phosphoniums,138,139 quinoliniums,140 rhodamines,141143 metal complexes (e.g., suggested gold,144 platinum,145 ruthenium,146 and iridium147) and targeting peptides;136,148150 and Golgi (e.g., EBAG9,151 suggested thiopeptides,152154 and suggested aminoquinolines155).
