Compartmentalisation of numerous metabolic pathways, biochemical reactions or substances is central and vital for every eukaryotic cell. Cell compartments are represented by several different, membrane-delimited organelles such as mitochondria and peroxisomes. In plant cells this assignment of tasks is even more pronounced than in the cells of animals, since plants also harbour chloroplasts and vacuoles. The consequence of cell compartmentalisation is an extensive intracellular network, involving the exchange of metabolites and solutes between the different organelles and the cytosol. In turn, solute transporters, mediating and regulating metabolic traffic across organellar membranes, are the bottleneck for the proper function of cellular metabolism.After a short introduction on strategies to identify organellar transporters in plants, this chapter will describe the integration of chloroplasts, mitochondria, peroxisomes and vacuoles into the cellular metabolic network. In following sections, known transport capacities and proteins are summarised and put into their respective physiological contexts. Nomenclature, structure, topology and functional characteristics of common membrane transport proteins are described elsewhere in this book (eg Chapter 6); therefore, this chapter will focus on the function of transport proteins that have been identified at a molecular level within specific organelles and their integration into the intracellular metabolic network.
