11 AA transport in plant versus neutrotransmission 161<br />

Fig.11.2. Phylogenetic tree of the AA–polyamine–choline (APC) superfamily (SLC7) (Hs<br />

Homo sapiens, At Arabidopsis thaliana). Maximum parsimony analyses were performed<br />

using PAUP 4.0b10 (Swofford 1998). Heuristic tree searches were executed using 100 random<br />

sequence additions and the tree bisection–reconnection branch-swapping algorithm<br />

with random sequence analysis. The complete alignment was based on 691 sites; 586 were<br />

phylogenetically informative. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at branch nodes<br />

1996). AAP mediate H + -coupled uptake of a wide spectrum of AA when<br />

expressed in oocytes (Fischer et al. 2002). AtAAP1-5 represent low-affinity<br />

transporters with low selectivity towards AA side chains; only AAP3 and<br />

AAP5 transport basic AA efficiently. AAP6 has an approximately tenfold<br />

higher affinity towards all substrates when compared with other AAP. For<br />

glutamine, glutamate and asparagine, major transport forms of organic
