Chemical compound and disease context of catB

 

Biological context of catB

  • We report the presence of an additional binding site for CatR downstream of the catBCA promoter within the catB structural gene [6].
  • By deletion analysis and the use of pKT240 as a promoter probe vector, we located a single promoter region for the catBC operon upstream of catB [8].
  • Cloning and complete nucleotide sequence determination of the catB gene encoding cis,cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme [9].
  • By conjugation experiments, the genes conferring these growth abilities have been shown to be located on the bacterial chromosome, linked to vil and catB [10].
  • Comparison of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences for catB with the corresponding sequences of the clcB gene (K.L. Ngai, B.F., D.K. Chatterjee, L.N. Ornston, and A.M.C., unpublished), whose gene product catalyzes the analogous reaction in 3-chlorobenzoate degradation, showed significant homology [9].
 

Associations of catB with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of catB

  • CatR binds to both a DNA fragment containing the catR-catB intergenic region and another DNA fragment containing catC [1].
  • This contrasts with the gene arrangement in other bacteria, in which catA lies several kilobases upstream from catB [1].
