The catalase activity, CAT-2 and CAT-3 isozyme protein levels, and the steady-state mRNA levels for each of the three catalase genes were determined in the scutellum, root, epicotyl, and leaf of the developing maize (Zea mays L.) seedling. Catalase activity was highest in the scutellum, with 10-fold lower enzyme activity in the leaf and epicotyl. Very low levels of catalase activity were found in the root. The highest levels of CAT-2 protein were found in the scutellum, with about 10-fold lower levels in the green leaf. CAT-2 protein was present in trace amounts early in root development and no CAT-2 protein was detected in the epicotyl. Shortly after germination, CAT-3 protein was present at high levels in both the epicotyl and green leaf. With development, the amount of CAT-3 protein decreased slowly in the epicotyl and rapidly in the green leaf. Low levels of this isozyme were detected in the scutellum and root. The Cat1 transcript accumulated to low levels in all four tissues during the 14 day developmental period. High levels of the Cat2 transcript were found in the scutellum, with moderate levels of the mRNA in the green leaf. The Cat2 transcript levels were very low in the root and epicotyl. While the Cat3 mRNA level in the scutellum was low, high levels of the Cat3 transcript were detected in the root, epicotyl, and leaf. There was a positive correlation between the accumulation of a catalase isozyme and its transcript, indicating that the tissue specificity of maize catalase gene expression was regulated pretranslationally.
