“…The substrate range of POTs is generally very wide; for example, human PepT1 and PepT2 can probably transport almost any di- and tripeptide ( Brandsch et al., 2008 ). However, the preferences for different peptide side chains vary significantly among different POTs ( Boggavarapu et al., 2015 , Brandsch et al., 2008 , Chiang et al., 2004 , Ernst et al., 2009 , Fang et al., 2000 , Guettou et al., 2014 , Ito et al., 2013 , Sharma et al., 2016 , Solcan et al., 2012 ), and some strongly prefer dipeptides to tripeptides ( Boggavarapu et al., 2015 , Ernst et al., 2009 , Solcan et al., 2012 ). Structures have been determined for several different bacterial POTs in both apo and substrate-bound forms ( Boggavarapu et al., 2015 , Doki et al., 2013 , Fowler et al., 2015 , Guettou et al., 2013 , Guettou et al., 2014 , Lyons et al., 2014 , Newstead et al., 2011 , Quistgaard et al., 2017 , Solcan et al., 2012 , Zhao et al., 2014 ).…”
