Gene Group (FlyBase)
CATALASES -
Catalases are members of oxidoreductase that prevent cell oxidative damage by degrading hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. (Adapted from PMID:19653683).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Catalyzes the degradation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) generated by peroxisomal oxidases to water and oxygen, thereby protecting cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide.
(UniProt, P17336)
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
Cat: Catalase
The structural gene for catalase [CAT(EC 1.11.1.6)]. Two peaks of activity, the smaller in late third instar larvae just prior to puparium formation and the larger during metamorphosis; coincident with the two major peaks of ecdysone titer. High specific activity in larval Malpighian tubules, gut, and fat body; higher in adult abdomen than in thorax or head. Purification and characterization of enzyme by Nahmias and Bewley (1984, Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 77B: 355-64). Amorphic and hypomorphic mutants are hemizygous viable on normal medium; however those with the lowest levels of catalase activity exhibit severely reduced viability (i.e., less than 2% normal levels). All mutants show increased sensitivity to the presence of hydrogen peroxide in the medium.

Additional Descriptive Data

Cat enzyme activity is detected throughout development with peaks in late third instar just before puparium formation (at 96-100hr after egg deposition) and during metamorphosis at approx. 190 hours after egg deposition.

Cat enzyme activity is undetectable in the Catn1 mutant throughout development. Flies from the Catn1/Def(3L)Cat strain show no Cat-specific cross-reacting material on Western blots.

Catn4/Df(3L)Cat flies have no detectable Cat enzyme activity and they show no Cat-specific cross-reacting material on Western blots.

The level of Catenzyme activity in the Catn2 mutant was shown to be less than 10% ofwild type levels throughout development. There is a correspondingly lowlevel of Cat-specific cross-reacting material on Western blots of theCatn2/Df(3L)Cat mutant.

Catn3/Df(3L)Catand Catn5/Df(3L)Cat flies have low levels of enzyme activity (<10%)and of Cat-specific cross-reacting material on Western blots.

Catn6/Df(3L)Catflies have low levels of enzyme activity (<10%) and of Cat-specificcross-reacting material on Western blots.

        Shows particularly robust cycling of transcription in adult heads, as assessed by expression analysis using high density oligonucleotide arrays with probe generated during three 12-point time course experiments over the course of 6 days. Shows significant change of expression pattern in circadian mutant background; decreased expression in per01, tim01 and ClkJrk background.

        Overexpression of Cat significantly increases resistance to hydrogen peroxide but has neutral or slightly deleterious effects on adult life span.

        7kb Cat genomic fragment can provide functional rescue of the Cat mutant phenotype. Sequence elements that might be critical for the regulation of gene expression are identified by sequencing.

        mRNA levels increase at adult day 5 in strain showing extended longevity phenotype (ELP).

        Some relationship exists between life span and antioxidant enzymes, the underlying mechanism of aging is not yet understood. Higher Cat activity is associated with reduced life span for e mutant.

        Mutations in Cat or Sod can accelerate the induction of Hsp70 genes during aging.

        Transgenic flies carrying three copies of Sod+ and three copies of Cat+ exhibited as much as one third extension of life span, a longer mortality rate doubling time, a lower amount of protein oxidative damage and a delayed loss in physical performance. Results support the free radical hypothesis of aging.

        Viability of acatalasemic flies can be restored by transformation with the wild type catalase gene. Though lack of catalase activity causes decreased viability and life span, increasing catalase activity above wild type levels had no effect on normal life span.

        Identification: Identified in 2D gels of CMW W2 wing imaginal disc cell proteins.

        Overexpression of Cat demonstrates enhanced levels of Cat does not prolong the life span, nor does it provide improved protection against oxidative stress induced by hyperoxia or paraquat treatment. It can provide enhanced resistance to hydrogen peroxide.

        D.melanogaster sensitivity to the deleterious effects of hydrogen peroxide increases when catalase activity is relatively low.

        The structural gene for catalase, a tetrameric enzyme. Two peaks of activity, the smaller in late third instar larvae just prior to puparium formation and the larger during metamorphosis; coincident with the two major peaks of ecdysone titer. High specific activity in larval Malpighian tubules, gut and fat body; higher in adult abdomen than in thorax or head. Amorphic and hypomorphic mutants are hemizygous viable on normal medium; however those with the lowest levels of catalase activity exhibit severely reduced viability (i.e., less than 2% normal levels). All mutants show increased sensitivity to the presence of hydrogen peroxide in the medium. No electromorphs detected among 50 inbred laboratory strains.
