Disease relevance of CTA1

 

High impact information on CTA1

  • Compared with wild-type cells, adr1 null mutants produced by disruption of the gene exhibit reduced CTA1 expression [3].
  • Expression of the CTA1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoding catalase A, the peroxisomal catalase of this yeast, is sensitive to glucose repression [3].
  • We examined the expression of CYC1-lacZ reporter constructs carrying the SPS19 and CTA1 OREs in diploids propagated under sporulation conditions and have shown that OREs are not sufficient for heterologous expression during yeast development [4].
  • Presence of H(2)O(2) could be detected around necrotic lesions caused by TMV infection in non-transgenic plants but to a much lesser extent in the CTA1 transgenic plants [1].
  • Respiratory incompetence has no effect on the expression of CTA1 and POX1, whereas in the absence of haem their expression is markedly decreased [2].
 

Biological context of CTA1

 

Anatomical context of CTA1

  • Furthermore, GFP-Cta1pDeltankf coexpressed with Cta1p was successfully localized in peroxisomes, suggesting that the oligomer was formed prior to peroxisome import and that it is not necessary for all four subunits to possess a PTS motif [8].
 

Associations of CTA1 with chemical compounds

  • A region previously demonstrated to control CTA1 via the ADR1 transcription activator (bp -156 to -184) does not mediate induction by oleic acid [9].
  • A strain from which CTA1 was deleted (cta1Delta strain) showed marked growth inhibition when it was grown on the peroxisome-inducing carbon sources methanol, oleate, and D-alanine, indicating that peroxisomal catalase plays an important nonspecific role in peroxisomal metabolism [8].
  • 3' Noncoding sequences of the CTA 1 gene enhance expression of the recombinant serine protease inhibitor, CPTI II, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [10].
 

Other interactions of CTA1

  • Copper was found to specifically induce transcription of CTT1, but not CTA1, mRNA [11].
