UniProt functional annotation for D6R8X8

UniProt code: D6R8X8.

Organism: Microbacterium liquefaciens (Aureobacterium liquefaciens).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Micrococcales; Microbacteriaceae; Microbacterium.
 
Function: 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). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16621827, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24952894, ECO:0000305|PubMed:16116274}.
 
Activity regulation: Inhibited by dinitrophenol, 5-(2-naphthylmethyl)- D-hydantoin (D-NMH), 5-(2-naphthylmethyl)-L-hydantoin (L-NMH), 5- bromovinylhydantoin (BVH) and 5-indolylmethyl-L-hydantoin (L-IMH) (PubMed:16621827, PubMed:24952894). The affinity of benzyl-hydantoin is increased over 10-fold in the presence of 15 mM of sodium (PubMed:18927357). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16621827, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18927357, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24952894}.
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 6.6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16621827};
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16621827}; Multi- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18927357, ECO:0000305|PubMed:20413494}.
Similarity: Belongs to the purine-cytosine permease (2.A.39) family. {ECO:0000305}.
