We have isolated three different catalase cDNAs from Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (cat1, cat2, and cat3) and a partial sequence of a fourth catalase gene (cat4) that shows no discernible expression based on Northern analysis. The catalase sequences were used to determine the similarity with other plant
Two cDNA clones encoding catalase (Cat1 and Cat2) from peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] were identified, that show homologies to other plant catalases. The nucleotide sequences of the two coding regions showed 88% identity to each other. The amino acid sequences predicted from the two full-length
During photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria, salt stress inhibits the repair of photodamaged PSII and, in particular, the synthesis of the D1 protein (D1). We investigated the effects of salt stress on the repair of PSII and the synthesis of D1 in wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana
Experiments were conducted with a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mutant with 40 to 50% greater catalase activity than wild type that is associated with a novel form of O(2)-resistant photosynthesis. The apparent K(m) for H(2)O(2) was the same in mutant and wild-type leaf extracts. Tobacco RNAs were
Separation of catalase isozymes from leaf extracts of three diverse plant species (Nicotiana sylvestris, Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare L.) revealed a distinct isozyme with enhanced peroxidatic activity (30-, 70-, 28-fold over typical catalase, respectively) which constituted 10 to 20% of the total
Many peroxisomal proteins are imported into peroxisomes via recognition of the peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) present at the C-termini by the PTS1 receptor (Pex5p). Catalase, a peroxisomal protein, has PTS1-like motifs around or at the C-terminus. However, it remains unclear whether catalase is
The increase in net photosynthesis in M(4) progeny of an O(2)-resistant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mutant relative to wild-type plants at 21 and 42% O(2) has been confirmed and further investigated. Self-pollination of an M(3) mutant produced M(4) progeny segregating high catalase phenotypes
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mutants with 40 to 50% more catalase activity than wild type show O(2)-resistant photosynthesis under conditions of high photorespiration. More than 90% of the population of mutant plants of an M(7) and M(8) generation had enhanced catalase activity, and nearly 40% had
Recently, it has been demonstrated that the salicylic acid (SA)-binding protein (SABP) from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a SA-inhibitable catalase (Z. Chen, H. Silva, D.F. Klessig [1993] Science 262: 1883-1886). Here we report the presence of SABP and SA-inhibitable catalase activity in
We report the cloning of a catalase cDNA from hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and its expression patterns. CaCat1 is consisted of 1837 bp containing one open reading frame (ORF) of 1479 and 45 bp/313 bp of 5'/3'-untranslated region. Deduced amino acid sequence of CaCat1 showed the 95% and 78%
Constructs containing the cDNAs encoding the primary leaf catalase in Nicotiana or subunit 1 of cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum) catalase were introduced in the sense and antisense orientation into the Nicotiana tabacum genome. The N. tabacum leaf cDNA specifically overexpressed CAT-1, the high
Catalases, which consist of multiple structural isoforms, catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in cells to prevent membrane lipid peroxidation. In this study, a group II catalase gene ScCAT2 (GenBank Accession No. KF528830) was isolated from sugarcane genotype Yacheng05-179. ScCAT2
Plant symptoms are derived from specific interactions between virus and host components. However, little is known about viral or host factors that participate in the establishment of systemic necrosis. Here, we showed that helper component proteinase (HCPro) encoded by Chilli veinal mottle virus
We have analyzed the expression of three catalase (Cat; EC 1.11.1.6) genes from Nicotiana plumbaginifolia by means of RNA blot and in situ hybridizations. Our data demonstrate that the expression of each catalase is associated with a particular H2O2-producing process. Cat1 appears to be specifically
The effect of high CO(2) (1% CO(2)/21% O(2)) on the activity of specific forms of catalase (CAT-1, -2, and -3) (EA Havir, NA McHale [1987] Plant Physiol 84: 450-455) in seedling leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris, Nicotlana tabacum) was examined. In high CO(2), total catalase activity decreased
