We have investigated the effect of the redox state of added NAD on the rates of anaerobic cyclic photophosphorylation which are supported by membrane vesicles isolated from Rhodospirillum rubrum. As the redox potential of NAD was lowered, the activity decreased according to a typical potentiometric titration. The Nernst plot showed an apparent midpoint potential (E'o) of -350 mV and had a slope which corresponded to a two-electron transition. Besides, an almost identical potentiometric relationship was found to exist between the extent of light-elicited ATP formation in anaerobic suspensions of intact R. rubrum cells and the redox potential of intracellular NAD. These results suggest that physiological photophosphorylation in R. rubrum requires the oxidized form of a membrane-bound constituent (E'o = -350 mV) whose redox state is controlled by the redox state of cytoplasmic NAD.
