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 [...]
