Function

Mhp1 is a transmembrane protein bellowing to the nucleobase-cation-symport-1 (NCS1) transporter family from Microbacterium liquefaciens. It allows the sodium dependent income of indolyl methyl- and benzyl-hydantoins in the cell. Those are part of a salvage metabolic pathway leading to their conversion in amino acids. ^[3]

The protein is composed of one chain of 12 transmembrane alpha helices (TMs). They are organised in two repeating units connected by a 59-residue loop (TMs 1-5 and TMs 6-10) and two additional helices (TM 11 and 12). The two repeating units have a symmetrical topology (Figure 2). Figure 2 : Structure of Mhp1 from Microbacterum liquefaciens
