Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

esxB10 kDa culture filtrate antigen EsxB (LHP) (CFP10); A secreted protein. Acts as a strong host (human) T-cell antigen. Involved in translocation of bacteria from the host (human) phagolysosome to the host cytoplasm. Might serve as a chaperone to prevent uncontrolled membrane lysis by its partner EsxA; native protein binds poorly to artificial liposomes in the absence or presence of EsxA. EsxA and EsxA-EsxB are cytotoxic to pneumocytes. EsxB (and EsxA-EsxB but not EsxA alone) activates human neutrophils; EsxB transiently induces host (human) intracellular Ca(2+) mobility in a dose-depend [...] (100 aa)
esxA6 kDa early secretory antigenic target EsxA (ESAT-6); A secreted protein that plays a number of roles in modulating the host's immune response to infection as well as being responsible for bacterial escape into the host cytoplasm. Acts as a strong host (human) T-cell antigen. Inhibits IL- 12 p40 (IL12B) and TNF-alpha expression by infected host (mouse) macrophages, reduces the nitric oxide response by about 75%. In mice previously exposed to the bacterium, elicits high level of IFN-gamma production by T-cells upon subsequent challenge by M.tuberculosis, in the first phase of a protecti [...] (95 aa)
esxFESAT-6-like protein EsxF; Rv3905c, (MT4024, MTCY15F10.06), len: 103 aa. EsxF,ESAT-6 like protein (see citation below), hypothetical unknown ala-, gly-rich protein, ESAT-6 like protein. Belongs to the ESAT6 family. (103 aa)
sigMPossible alternative RNA polymerase sigma factor SigM; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor (RsaM, AC L7N5D7) until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (Probable). This sigma factor is required for the synthesis of surface or secreted molecules. (222 aa)

PE13PE family protein PE13; May play a pivotal role in the interaction between M.tuberculosis and host. Can enhance the survival within macrophages under stress conditions such as H(2)O(2), SDS and low pH. Increases the production of IL-6 and IL-1beta from macrophages, and decreases the secretion of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS-3). These changes probably involve the p38-ERK-NF-kappa-B signaling pathway. Also precipitates the macrophage death. (99 aa)
PPE18PPE family protein PPE18; Could be a crucial virulence factor for intracellular survival of M.tuberculosis. Favors development of Th2-type response, and downregulates the proinflammatory and Th1-type response. Specifically interacts with the human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), leading to an early and sustained activation of p38 MAPK, which induces IL-10 production and activates Th2-type immune response. Also inhibits proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p40 and TNF-alpha production. Acts by upregulating the expression as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 ( [...] (391 aa)

It could also catalyze the formation of pyruvate and succinate from 2-methylisocitrate, a key step in the methylcitrate cycle (propionate degradation route) (By similarity). (428 aa)
