Abstract
A novel protein which has an activity to transport hydantoin compounds is described, as well as a recombinant expressing this transporter protein. Fromstrain AJ3912, a novel gene was discovered to encode a protein which is able to transport hydantoin compounds. A recombinant with an excellent ability to uptake hydantoin compounds is obtained by introducing and expressing the novel gene, called mhp, using gene recombination techniques.
