One of the key enzymes that are involved in protecting the bacterium from reactive oxygen species is the catalase-peroxidase (KatG). However, in strains resistant to the antibiotic isoniazid, KatG is rendered ineffective, which is associated with an increased expression of alkylhydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC). Mycobacterial AhpC possesses a unique helical displacement when compared to its bacterial counterparts. Here, via mutagenesis studies, we demonstrate the importance of this helix for redox modulation of the catalytic activity of AhpC. Along with structural insights from crystallographic data, the impact of critical residues on the structure and flexibility of the helix and on AhpC oligomerization is described. Residues of helix a2 are critical for catalytic efficiency of mycobacterial alkylhydroperoxide reductase subunit C.,Chong SMS, Kamariah N, Gruber G FEBS Lett. 2020 Sep;594(17):2829-2839. doi: 10.1002/1873-3468.13864.
