Alaska) to bind to various chromatographic adsorbents and its mobility during non-denaturing electrophoresis were examined with phytochrome in either the red light-absorbing form (PR) or the far-red light-absorbing form (PFR). Preferential binding of PFR to modified hydrophilic polyvinyl resins, such as butyl Toyopearl, phenyl Toyopearl, Blue Toyopearl (Cibacron Blue F3G-A conjugated) and Red Toyopearl (Procion Red HE-3B conjugated), was observed. A simplified method for purification of native phytochrome was developed based on the properties of PR and PFR. PFR bound preferentially to the hydrophobic adsorbents, to indicate that the surface of PFR is more hydrophobic than that of PR. A difference in net surface charges between PR and PFR was detected by an analysis based on the different mobilities of the two forms during non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in gels prepared with various concentrations of polyacrylamide. The apparent molecular weights of PR and PFR, estimated from the analysis, were 378 and 419 kilodaltons, respectively. The difference suggests that a significant change in molecular shape occurs during the photoconversion. The differences in surface properties of PR and PFR are discussed.
