Function

HYUP_MICLQ Nucleobase-proton symporter that mediates the sodium-dependent binding and uptake of 5-aryl-substituted hydantoin compounds (PubMed:16621827, PubMed:24952894). 5-indolyl methyl hydantoin and 5-benzyl hydantoin are the preferred substrates, with selectivity for a hydrophobic substituent in position 5 of hydantoin and for the L isomer over the D isomer (PubMed:16621827, PubMed:24952894).[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The 'Nucleobase-Cation-Symport-1', NCS1, transporters are essential components of salvage pathways for nucleobases and related metabolites. Here, we report the 2.85 A resolution structure of the NCS1 benzyl-hydantoin transporter, Mhp1, from Microbacterium liquefaciens. Mhp1 contains 12 transmembrane helices, 10 of which are arranged in two inverted repeats of 5 helices. The structures of the outward-facing open and substrate-bound occluded conformations were solved, showing how the outward-facing cavity closes upon binding of substrate. Comparisons with the leucine (LeuTAa) and the galactose (vSGLT) transporters reveal that the outward- and inward-facing cavities are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the membrane. The reciprocal opening and closing of these cavities is synchronised by the inverted repeat helices 3 and 8, providing the structural basis of the 'alternating access' model for membrane transport.
