Proton selectivity is perfect in WT hHV1 (A) but compromised in Trp207 mutants (B). Proton selectivity is indicated by the proximity of measured values of Vrev and the Nernst potential for H+, EH. Data were obtained in whole-cell (closed symbols) and inside-out patch configuration (open symbols). In whole-cell measurements, the color-coded pHi solution was in the pipette, and pHo was varied, with lines connecting measurements in each cell. In inside-out patch measurements, pHo was the pipette solution and pHi was varied. Whole-cell measurements in B include eight W207F, 12 W207A, and one W207S cell. For W207X mutants, currents in patches were too small to allow reliable estimation of Vrev.
