Abstract
32P-rhodopsin was partially separated by isoelectric focusing into several fractions of different phosphorylation extent. It was found that the incorporated phosphate is not uniformly distributed in a population of rhodopsin molecules. In a preparation with an average phosphorylation extent of 2.4 moles of phosphate per mole of rhodopsin, most of the 32P-phosphate was found in fractions where 4-5 phosphates are bound per rhodopsin, whereas a large fraction of the total rhodopsin was not phosphorylated at all. The maximum number os phosphate binding sites in rhodopsin appears to be at least five.
