6 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 [...]

10 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 [...]

ESAT-6 like protein EsxG (conserved protein TB9.8); EsxG, in complex with EsxH, disrupts ESCRT function and impairs host phagosome maturation, thereby promoting intracellular bacterial growth. The complex acts by interacting, via EsxH, with the host hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HGS/HRS), a component of the ESCRT machinery. EsxG stabilizes EsxH in the host cytosol.

Immunogenic protein Mpt64 (antigen Mpt64/MPB64); Rv1980c, (MT2032, MTCY39.39), len: 228 aa. Mpt64 (alternate gene name: mpb64), immunogenic protein (alternate gene name: mpb64) (see citations below),identical to MPT64|MPB64 from Mycobacterium bovis (228 aa). Similar to Rv3036c|MTV012.51c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Exported protein containing a N-terminal signal sequence: see notes below about proteomics. Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al.,2008).
