Differs from EC 1.11.1.7, peroxidase in having a relatively high catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activity with H2O2 as donor, releasing O2; both activities use the same heme active site. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis it is responsible for activation of the commonly used antitubercular drug, isoniazid.
additions of ammonium sulfate even at weak concentrations (10 to 70 mM) stimulate catalatic activity measured in the presence of 1.5 M NaC1 by about 30%

CRYSTALLIZATION (Commentary)

LITERATURE
hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method, the rhombic plate-shaped crystals are grown from purified protein solution using (NH4)2SO4 as precipitant at 20°C. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2, and diffract beyond 2.0 A resolution
the 2.0 A crystal structure of the enzyme reveals that it is a dimer of two identical subunits. Each subunit is composed of two structurally homologous domains with a topology similar to that of class I peroxidase. The active site is in the N-terminal domain. Although the arrangement of the catalytic residues and the cofactor heme b in the active site is virtually identical to that of class I peroxidases, the heme moiety is buried inside the domain, similar to that in a typical catalase. In the vicinity of the active site, novel covalent bonds are formed among the side chains of three residues, including that of a tryptophan on the distal side of the heme. Together with the C-terminal domain, these covalent bonds fix two long loops on the surface of the enzyme that cover the substrate access channel to the active site. These features provide an explanation for the dual activities of this enzyme
