Reaction: ATP + H2O + polar amino acid-[polar amino acid-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + polar amino acid[side 2] + [polar amino acid-binding protein][side 1]
Glossary: nopaline = N-{(1R)-1-carboxy-4-[(diaminomethylene)amino]butyl}-L-glutamate
Other name(s): histidine permease; polar-amino-acid-transporting ATPase
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, polar-amino-acid-importing)
Comments: An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. The enzyme, found in bacteria, interacts with an extracytoplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the import of polar amino acids. This entry comprises bacterial enzymes that import His, Arg, Lys, Glu, Gln, Asp, ornithine, octopine and nopaline.
