Rv3875, (MT3989, MTV027.10), len: 95 aa. esxA, early secretory antigenic target (see citations below), identical to Q57165|O84901|ESAT6 EARLY SECRETORY ANTIGENIC TARGET from Mycobacterium bovis (94 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 596, E(): 4.6e-33, (100.0% identity in 94 aa overlap). Also similar to Q50206|ESA6_MYCLE|ESAT6|ESX|L45|ML0049|MLCB628.12c 6 KDA EARLY SECRETORY ANTIGENIC TARGET HOMOLOG (ESAT-6-LIKE PROTEIN) (L-ESAT) from Mycobacterium leprae (95 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 236, E(): 3.3e-09, (36.25% identity in 91 aa overlap); and weak similarity with others proteins ESAT-like from Mycobacterium leprae. Also some similarity with O53266|ES69_MYCTU|Rv3019c|MT3104|MTV012.33c PUTATIVE SECRETED ESAT-6 LIKE PROTEIN 9 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (96 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 131, E(): 0.03, (26.15% identity in 88 aa overlap); and other ESAT-like protein.

Molecule Role Annotation |
The heterologous prime-boost strategy of live Salmonella vaccine expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion antigen Age5B-ESAT6 (esxA) from the chromosome followed by a systemic boost of antigen and adjuvant reduced the levels of M. tuberculosis bacteria in the lungs and spleen to the same extent as BCG. Additionally, this vaccination regimen was observed to be statistically equivalent in terms of protection to immunisation with BCG (Hall et al., 2009).
In a prophylactic vaccine model, immunization with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein ESAT-6 with LANAC adjuvant elicited significant protective immunity against aerosol challenge with virulent M. tuberculosis (Zaks et al., 2006). |
