Mechanism* | Supporting evidence | Possible energetics | References |
---|---|---|---|
5& | - Electroneutral transport pH dependent - Resistance to MeA toxicity |
pH gradient dependent Δψ independent |
[72,75,76] |
6 | - Presence of CO2 binding pocket in crystal structure | CO2 concentration gradient | [77] |
5 | - MD simulation computing potentials of mean force and permeabilities for NH3 | NH3 chemical gradient | [78] |
2 | - Electroneutral transport in lipososmes - Independent of pH gradient |
pH gradient independent Δψ independent |

Mechanism: 2 - NH4+ deprotonation following by NH3/H+ conduction, 5 - NH3 uniport, 6 - CO2 transport, &- the activity may be bidirectional activity.
