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.

General info
Function
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 (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the mycobacterial A85 antigen family.
