Won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1999 for his work on cellular zip code tags (a sequence of amino acids) in proteins that directed where each of the labeled proteins went, within the complex internal compartments of Eukaryotic cells.
Here is a NY Times story on him.
This is very basic eukaryotic cell biology that reveals a major component of how the complexity of eukarotic (plants, animal, and fungi (and also protozoans)) cells is created and maintained.
This system probably arose with the first eukarotic cells or their progenitors.
