Overview of sugar transporters. The evolutionary history of 940 PF00083 sequences identified in the genomes of A. clavatus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. oryzae, A. terreus, and A. fischeri was inferred using the neighbor-joining method. The optimal tree is shown. Nodes with 50–69% (∆) or 70–100% () bootstrap support (1000 replicates) are indicated. Evolutionary distances were computed using the Poisson correction method and are in the units of the number of amino acid substitutions per site. All ambiguous positions were removed for each sequence pair. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA6. A small number of sequences could not be assigned to the main clades identified; referring to the smallest genome analyzed (A. clavatus), these correspond to loci ACLA023780, ACLA026890, ACLA031920, and ACLA041390. Potential substrates for members of the clades are suggested based on experimentally determined transporter functions
