Gene Description

Catalase T, the cytosolic monofunctional heme catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ctt1 is a homotetramer that dismutates hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen in the cytosol. Unlike its paralog Cta1 (peroxisomal catalase A) it lacks a peroxisomal targeting signal. CTT1 expression is stress-inducible, and cytosolic catalase activity is induced by reactive nitrogen species in flavohemoglobin- or GSNOR-deficient cells and can degrade peroxynitrite in vitro. Loss of both catalases increases oxidative protein damage.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Lushchak & Gospodaryov 2005: combined loss of cytosolic (Ctt1) and peroxisomal (Cta1) catalases increased protein carbonylation on ethanol, showing catalases protect against ROS damage.
Reason: Physiological consequence of H2O2 removal; non-core relative to H2O2 catabolism.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15893481
Growing in ethanol the strain deficient in cytosolic and peroxisomal catalases had 7.1-fold higher level of carbonyl proteins than that of wild-type strain.

Summary: Sahoo et al. 2009 measured cytosolic catalase (Ctt1) activity in yeast and its induction in yhb1 and sfa1 mutants, and showed in vitro that catalase degrades peroxynitrite. Supports catalase activity of the cytosolic enzyme.

Our in vitro studies confirmed the role of catalase in protection against peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation and nitration and also in peroxynitrite catabolism.

REMOVE
Summary: PAINT IBA for mitochondrion at node PTN000157252, whose only with/from source is the paralog CTA1. Mitochondrial import was shown specifically for catalase A (Cta1); there is no evidence for mitochondrial Ctt1, which is the cytosolic form.
Reason: Paralog-specific location (Cta1) propagated to the cytosolic paralog Ctt1; no Ctt1-specific evidence.

The mitochondrion location at this node is grounded by CTA1 (SGD:S000002664) and animal peroxisomal catalases; the yeast paralog Ctt1 has no PTS1 (C-terminus ...SIASAN) and is the cytosolic catalase.

REMOVE
Summary: PAINT IBA for peroxisome from animal catalases and yeast CTA1. Ctt1 lacks a PTS1 and is designated the cytoplasmic catalase, in contrast to peroxisomal catalase A; no evidence places Ctt1 in peroxisomes.
Reason: Peroxisomal location belongs to the paralog Cta1; Ctt1 is cytosolic.

GO:0019430 removal of superoxide radicals
RCA
GO_REF:0000123
REMOVE
Summary: Inherited from the YeastPathways superoxide radicals degradation pathway (DETOX1-PWY). Ctt1 degrades H2O2, not superoxide.
Reason: GO:0019430 removal of superoxide radicals describes conversion of superoxide (O2-), e.g. by superoxide dismutase. Catalase acts on hydrogen peroxide, the product of SOD, and does not react with superoxide. The row is inherited from the YeastPathways "superoxide radicals degradation" pathway (DETOX1-PWY), whose name covers both the SOD and catalase steps; the catalase step is captured by GO:0042744 hydrogen peroxide catabolic process.

Q: Is the peroxynitrite-degrading activity of Ctt1 physiologically relevant in wild-type cells, or only when flavohemoglobin/GSNOR are absent?
