Proteoliposomes reconstituted by detergent dialysis from purified [Klebsiella aerogenes] oxaloacetate decarboxylse and phospholipids catalyzed an oxaloacetate-14CO2 exchange. Similarly prepared proteoliposomes containing [Veillonella alcalescens] methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase catalyzed the exchange between malonyl-CoA and 14CO2. These exchange reactions were completely dependent on the Na+ ion gradients established during decarboxylation of part of the substrates since no exchange took place in the presence of the Na+ carrier monensin. After a large Na+ concentration gradient Nain+ > Naout+ was applied to methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase containing proteoliposomes, acetyl-CoA was carboxylated to malonyl-CoA which was trapped with fatty acid synthetase. In the absence of a Na+ gradient, no acetyl-CoA carboxylation occurred. When oxaloacetate decarboxylase and methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase were simultaneously incorporated into proteoliposomes, a transcarboxylase system was constructed. Upon decarboxylation of oxaloacetate to pyruvate, acetyl-CoA was carboxylated to malonyl-CoA and vice versa. These transcarboxylations are mediated by a Na+ circuit since dissipation of the Na+ gradient with monensin also abolished the transcarboxylation reactions. Disruption of the membrane potential with valinomycin or carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)-phenylhydrazone severely reduced the rate of oxaloacetate decarboxylation dependent acetyl-CoA carboxylation, in accord with the electrogenic properties of the Na+ pumps. These Na+ pumps therefore act as reversible vectorial catalysts either by creating electrochemical Na+ gradients upon decarboxylation or by CO2 fixation to yield carboxylic acids at the expense of an already existing Na+ gradient. This type of CO2 fixation is new and basically different from the classical carboxylation reactions which require ATP hydrolysis to overcome the energetically unfavorable metabolic processes. The stoichiometry between Na+ transport and malonyl-CoA decarboxylation was 2:1 in the initial phase but decreased after a Na+ concentration gradient had developed over the vesicular membrane.
