Function
KATG_MYCTU Bifunctional enzyme with both catalase and broad-spectrum peroxidase activity. Displays also NADH oxidase, isoniazid (INH) lyase and isonicotinoyl-NAD synthase activity. May play a role in the intracellular survival of mycobacteria. May be involved in DNA repair. Partly complements recA-deficient E.coli cells exposed to UV radiation, mitomycin C or hydrogen peroxide. Increases resistance to mitomycin C in E.coli cells deficient for either uvrA, uvrB or uvrC.[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Peroxidatic activation of the anti-tuberculosis pro-drug isoniazid by Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG) is regulated by gating residues of a heme access channel. The steric restriction at the bottleneck of this channel is alleviated by replacement of residue Asp137 with Ser, according to crystallographic and kinetic studies.
