Popis: The presence of KatG(S315T), a mutation frequently detected in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been associated with loss of catalase-peroxidase activity and resistance to isoniazid therapy. Wild-type KatG and KatG(S315T) were expressed in a heterologous host (Escherichia coli) and purified to homogeneity, and enzymatic activity was measured. The catalase activity for KatG(S315T) was reduced 6-fold, and its peroxidase activity was decreased
