The H(+)-ATPase from chloroplasts CFoF1, was brought into the active, reduced state by illumination of thylakoids in the presence of thioredoxin and dithiothreitol. Uni-site ATP synthesis was initiated by the addition of 20 nM [alpha-32P]ADP, and enzyme-bound and free nucleotides were separated by a pressure column. The ratio of enzyme-bound ADP to ATP was 0.55 +/- 0.05. In a second experiment, uni-site ATP hydrolysis under energized conditions was initiated by the addition of 36 nM [alpha-32P]ATP; enzyme-bound and free nucleotides were separated by a pressure column. Both procedures were carried out under continuous illumination. The ratio of enzyme-bound ADP to ATP was 0.46 +/- 0.04. In a third experiment, uni-site ATP hydrolysis under de-energized conditions was initiated by the addition of 39 nM [alpha-32P]ATP and NH4Cl/valinomycin in the absence of illumination. Free and enzyme-bound nucleotides were separated also by a pressure column. The ratio of enzyme-bound ADP to ATP was 0.43 +/- 0.02. This ratio was always the same irrespective of whether the reaction runs in the synthesis or the hydrolysis direction. Furthermore, the ratio does not depend on the membrane energization. We conclude, therefore, that the protons are not directly involved in the reaction at the catalytic site.
