Dedication
To Patty and Margarete and our families
The authors also express gratitude to their mentors, who helped to shape their views of how science should be conducted. Tom Pollard thanks Sus Ito and Ed Korn for the opportunity to learn microscopy and biochemistry under their guidance. He also thanks Hugh Huxley and Ed Taylor for their contributions as role models, his former colleagues at Johns Hopkins University for their insights regarding biophysics, and Susan Forsburg for her help in the area of yeast biology. Bill Earnshaw thanks, in particular, Jonathan King, Stephen Harrison, Aaron Klug, Tony Crowther, Ron Laskey, and Uli Laemmli, who provided a diverse range of incredibly rich environments in which to learn that science at the highest level is an adventure that lasts a lifetime.

Preface to the Second Edition
I t has pleased us to know how useful the first edition of Cell Biology has been for both undergraduate and graduate students. We have benefited from using the book in the classroom and from helpful feedback from our students. We have also benefited from feedback from other teachers and their students, particularly Ursula Goodenough at Washington University in St. Louis. This experience validated the approach that we used for much of the material but also gave us the opportunity to identify concepts that might be presented more clearly. In response to student feedback, we reduced nonessential jargon by eliminating a number of terms that appeared only once. This helps to move the reader’s focus away from nomenclature and toward an understanding of concepts. As part of our concentration on concepts and mechanisms, we moved the larger tables containing lists of specific molecules to chapter appendixes, where they can be consulted as references without disturbing the flow of the text.
We added Chapter 2 , which addresses the origin of life and the evolution of the three domains of life. Evolution is not only the most important general principle in biology but also one of this text’s major organizing principles.
For the second edition, we recruited a very important new member of our team. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz rewrote the material on membrane traffic and reorganized it into three new chapters that cover the endoplasmic reticulum ( Chapter 20 ), the secretory pathway ( Chapter 21 ), and the endocytic pathway ( Chapter 22 ). Her contribution adds a new dimension that brings us up to date in one of the most dynamic areas of cell biology.
Graham Johnson, now a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow in biophysics at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, remains an integral member of our team. For this edition, he added nearly 200 new figures and revised 500 figures from the first edition. His artistic gift and keen insights are evident in each of the illustrations.
Cell biology is an incredibly exciting and dynamic science. To keep our information current, we updated each chapter with the latest data about how cells work at the molecular level. Many new insights derived from real time microscopy of live cells expressing fluorescent fusion proteins. Examples include (1) the discovery that slow axonal transport is really just intermittent fast transport, (2) the discovery that many nuclear proteins are surprisingly mobile, and (3) the observation of flux of subunits within the mitotic spindle. Some particularly informative new insights came from crystal structures of a riboswitch, a new ABC translocator, several carrier proteins, several ion channels, the signal recognition particle receptor GTPase, SecYE translocon, clathrin, the EGF receptor, receptor serine/threonine kinases bound to their ligand, guanylylcyclase receptors, Toll-like receptors, the regulatory subunit bound to PKA, integrins, formins, CAD nuclease, Wee1 kinase, RFC, Mad1, Mad2, apoptosome, the Holliday junction, SCF, and other macromolecules. Careful editing allowed the inclusion of new material without significantly increasing the length of the second edition.
One reviewer of the first edition expressed concern that our coverage of cells and tissues was embedded in chapters on mechanisms. It is true that we place great emphasis on mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level, but we do so by using frequent examples from diverse experimental organisms and specialized cells and tissues of vertebrate animals to illustrate the general principles. The Guide to Figures Featuring Specific Organisms and Specialized Cells that follows the Contents lists figures by organism and cell. The relevant text accompanies the figures. The reader who wishes to assemble a unit on cellular and molecular mechanisms in the immune system, for example, will find the relevant material associated with the figures that cover lymphocytes/immune system.
Organization of the Book
We use molecular structures as the starting point for explaining how each cellular system is constructed and how it operates. Most of the ten major sections begin with one or more chapters that cover the key molecules that run the systems under consideration. For example, the section on Signaling Mechanisms begins with separate chapters on receptors, cytoplasmic signal transduction proteins, and second messengers. Noting the concentrations of key molecules and the rates of their reactions should help the student to appreciate the rapidly moving molecular environment inside cells.
We retained the general organization of the first edition, particularly the use of introductory chapters that present the machinery used in each cellular system as a precursor to the chapters that integrate concepts and describe the physiology. We moved the mechanism of the Ras GTPase from the signaling section to Chapter 4 , which covers biochemical and biophysical mechanisms. This arrangement not only presents Ras as an excellent example of how to dissect an enzyme mechanism by transient kinetic analysis but also provides an early introduction of GTPases that prepares the reader for thei
