Abstract |
The activity of enzymes involved in active transport of matter across lipid bilayers can conveniently be assayed by measuring their consumption of energy, such as ATP hydrolysis, while it is more challenging to directly measure their transport activities as the transported substrate is not converted into a product and only moves a few nanometers in space. Here, we describe two methods for the measurement of active proton pumping across lipid bilayers and the concomitant formation of a membrane potential, applying the dyes 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine (ACMA) and oxonol VI. The methods are exemplified by assaying transport of the Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase (proton pump), which after heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and subsequent purification has been reconstituted in proteoliposomes. |
