“…The light-dependent photosynthetic electron transport reactions and the ATP synthase are embedded in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane (Spetea et al, 2008). Their assembly, activity, and repair depend on the transfer of metabolites and cofactors (Spetea et al, 2008). Many biochemical reports pointed to the existence of transport activities across the thylakoid membrane (Vambutas et al, 1994;Pottosin and Scho ¨nknecht, 1996;Hinnah and Wagner, 1998;Ettinger et al, 1999;Shingles et al, 2004).…”

Still, our knowledge of thylakoid solute carriers is sparse in comparison to what is known about chloroplast envelope transporter proteins (Figure 2; Spetea et al, 2008).…”

Due to the presence of plastids, eukaryotic photosynthetic cells represent the most highly compartmentalized eukaryotic cells. This high degree of compartmentation requires the transport of solutes across intracellular membrane systems by specific membrane transporters. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on functionally characterized intracellular plant membrane transporters and we link transporter functions to Arabidopsis gene identifiers and to the transporter classification system. In addition, we outline challenges in further elucidating the plant membrane permeome and we provide an outline of novel approaches for the functional characterization of membrane transporters.
