15. The observed inward proton transport can be straightforwardly interpreted as a light-driven inward proton pump. Nevertheless, an inward cation "pump" has to be carefully defined in sphaeroplast vesicles, because the interior of the cell is negatively charged. An ion pump is a protein that transports ions against the electrochemical potential (uphill reaction), whereas the observed inward proton transport may be driven along the potential gradient (downhill reaction). Since the electrochemical potential for protons in the present sphaeroplast vesicles is unclear, we have used the term "inward proton transport" rather than "inward proton pump" in this article. On the other hand, the FTIR results for the ASR sample (Figure 5) are coincident with the proton transport activity, suggesting that the inward proton transport is an intrinsic property of D217E ASR. See footnote 18 for further details.

18. In the FTIR measurements, detergent-solubilized ASR molecules were reconstituted into PC liposomes. Therefore, there was no electrochemical gradient for the ASR sample, in contrast to the situation for those in sphaeroplast vesicles. Figure 5 clearly shows that protons were transferred to Glu217 under such conditions, which is completely coincident with the proton transport activity of D217E ASR. This observation suggests that D217E ASR is an inward proton pump. However, the active transport has to be measured to obtain direct evidence of an inward proton pump.
