Reaction: ATP + H2O + quaternary amine-[quaternary amine-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + quaternary amine[side 2] + [quaternary amine-binding protein][side 1]
Other name(s): glycine betaine ABC transporter; ProVWX; quaternary-amine ABC transporter; quaternary-amine-transporting ATPase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, quaternary-amine-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. Does not undergo phosphorylation during the transport process. A bacterial enzyme that interacts with an extracytoplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the high affinity uptake of quaternary amine derivatives.
