High impact information on CAT3

Changing the CAT3 EE to a CBS changes the phase of peak transcription from the evening to the morning in continuous dark and in light-dark cycles, consistent with the specification of phase by the single base pair that distinguishes these elements [1].
We have defined a minimal Arabidopsis CATALASE 3 (CAT3) promoter sufficient to drive evening-specific circadian transcription of a LUCIFERASE reporter gene [1].
CAT1 and CAT3 map to chromosome 1, and CAT2 maps to chromosome 4 [2].
CAT1 and CAT3 map to chromosome 1, and CAT2 maps to chromosome 4 [3].
Intron losses from CAT1 and CAT3 followed these duplications [4].

Biological context of CAT3

We have characterized cDNA and genomic clones containing the Arabidopsis catalase gene CAT3, present as a single copy in the nuclear genome [5].

Other interactions of CAT3

All three mRNAs are highly expressed in bolts, and CAT2 and CAT3 are highly expressed in leaves [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CAT3

We tested the hypothesis that the EE and the CBS specify circadian phase by site-directed mutagenesis to convert the CAT3 EE into a CBS [1].
