Nucleotide sequence of the Mycobacterium leprae katG region.
Synthetic oligonucleotide primers based on the DNA sequence data of the Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Mycobacterium intracellulare katG genes encoding the heme-containing enzyme catalase-peroxidase were used to amplify and analyze the Mycobacterium leprae katG region by PCR. A 1.6-kb DNA fragment, which hybridized to an M. tuberculosis katG probe, was obtained from an M. lep...
متن کاملExploring the structure and function of the mycobacterial KatG protein using trans-dominant mutants.
In order to probe the structure and function of the mycobacterial catalase-peroxidase enzyme (KatG), we employed a genetic approach using dominant-negative analysis of katG merodiploids. Transformation of Mycobacterium bovis BCG with various katG point mutants (expressed from low-copy-number plasmids) resulted in reductions in peroxidase and catalase activities as measured in cell extracts. The...
متن کاملDirect voltammetry and catalysis with Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase, peroxidases, and catalase in lipid films.
Stable films of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and M. tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG), several peroxidases, myoglobin, and catalase showed reversible FeIII/FeII voltammetry on pyrolytic graphite electrodes and catalytic current for hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Amperometric responses for these films to H2O2 at 0 V are likely to contain significant contributions from catalytic reduction ...
متن کاملOnly one catalase, katG, is detectable in Rhizobium etli, and is encoded along with the regulator OxyR on a plasmid replicon.
The plasmid-borne Rhizobium etli katG gene encodes a dual-function catalase-peroxidase (KatG) (EC 1.11.1.7) that is inducible and heat-labile. In contrast to other rhizobia, katG was shown to be solely responsible for catalase and peroxidase activity in R. etli. An R. etli mutant that did not express catalase activity exhibited increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Pre-exposure...
متن کاملCatalase-peroxidase of Caulobacter crescentus: function and role in stationary-phase survival.
Caulobacter crescentus is an obligate aerobe which is exposed to high concentrations of photosynthetic oxygen and low levels of nutrients in its aquatic environment. Physiological studies of oxidative and starvation stresses in C. crescentus were undertaken through a study of lacZ fusion and null mutant strains constructed from the cloned 5' end of katG, encoding a catalase-peroxidase. The katG...
