The catalase multigene family in Arabidopsis includes three genes encoding
individual subunits that associate to form at least six isozymes that are
readily resolved by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis. CAT1 and CAT3 map to
chromosome 1, and CAT2 maps to chromosome 4. The nucleotide sequences of
the three coding regions are 70 to 72% identical. The amino acid sequences
of the three catalase subunits are 75 to 84% identical and 87 to 94%
similar, considering conservative substitutions. Both the individual
isozymes and the individual subunit mRNAs show distinct patterns of spatial
(organ-specific) expression. Six isozymes are detected in flowers and
leaves and two are seen in roots. Similarly, mRNA abundance of the three
genes varies among organs. All three mRNAs are highly expressed in bolts,
and CAT2 and CAT3 are highly expressed in leaves.
