Supplementary information

The protein Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag85 also called Ag85 complex or Ag-85 consists of a series of related proteins secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis including Ag85A Ag85B and Ag85C. This protein family plays a central role in the pathogen's ability to synthesize mycolic acids. The Ag85 complex has a molecular mass of around 30 to 32 kDa and is abundantly expressed on the surface of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall.
Biological function summary

The Ag85 complex facilitates the synthesis and transfer of mycolic acids essential constituents of the mycobacterial cell wall's lipid-rich structure. The Ag85 proteins participate in forming this barrier allowing Mycobacterium tuberculosis to resist host immune defenses. This functionality is linked to its involvement in the mycolyltransferase enzyme system which operates in collaboration with several other proteins necessary for full cell wall biosynthesis.

Pathways

The Ag85 complex significantly contributes to the biosynthetic route of mycolic acids an integral component of mycobacterial cell walls. This pathway includes interactions with other proteins like Pks13 and Mycobacterial arabinosyltransferase (EmbB) both important for the complex architectural integrity and viability of the mycobacterial cell wall. This biosynthesis pathway ensures proper assembly and maintenance of the cell envelope enhancing the persistence of the bacteria.

The Ag85 proteins are critical in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis where their activity supports the survival of the bacteria within host macrophages. Ag85 complexes are considered potential targets for diagnostic and therapeutic applications against tuberculosis. Additionally in leprosy another disease caused by mycobacteria proteins of the Ag85 complex have shown cross-reactivity emphasizing their significant role in bacterial viability and immune response evasion.

Target data

The antigen 85 proteins (FbpA, FbpB, FbpC) are responsible for the high affinity of mycobacteria for fibronectin, a large adhesive glycoprotein, which facilitates the attachment of M.tuberculosis to murine alveolar macrophages (AMs). They also help to maintain the integrity of the cell wall by catalyzing the transfer of mycolic acids to cell wall arabinogalactan, and through the synthesis of alpha,alpha-trehalose dimycolate (TDM, cord factor). They catalyze the transfer of a mycoloyl residue from one molecule of alpha,alpha-trehalose monomycolate (TMM) to another TMM, leading to the formation of TDM. FbpA mediates triacylglycerol (TAG) formation with long-chain acyl-CoA as the acyl donor and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol (1,2-dipalmitin) as the acyl acceptor. It has a preference for C26 : 0-CoA over C18 : 1-CoA.
