22Na+ transport by the Rnf complex reconstituted into proteoliposomes. 220 µl proteoliposomes (protein concentration 2.84 mg/ml) in buffer (100 mM Tris–HCl, 100 mM malic acid, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTE, and 4 μM resazurin) catalyzed 22Na+ transport upon addition of 10 μl ferredoxin (3 mM), 10 μg CODH (3 mg/ml), and 30 μl NAD+ (100 mM) under anoxic conditions with CO in the headspace (■). One assay contained 40 µM of the protonophore TCS (). Another 40 µM of the Na+-ionophor ETH2120 (). One assay did not contain NAD+ (▲). Data points show one representative out of two biological replicates
