Popis: The recent review by Feng and Frommer [1] summarizes spectacular new insights into the molecular architecture of SemiSWEET transporters for sugars, resulting from four crystal structures published over the past 12 months [2–4]. The authors briefly touch upon the possible evolutionary relation between SemiSWEET transporters and other families of membrane proteins, notably the Pnu transporters for vitamins and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), but they do not make a clear distinction between sequence and structural similarities, which may lead to confusion.
