Background: | The antigen 85 proteins (FbpA, FbpB, FbpC) are responsible for the high affinity of mycobacteria to 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 acid, 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). |
Synonyms: | Diacylglycerol acyltransferase/mycolyltransferase Ag85C (DGAT) (EC 2.3.1.122) (EC 2.3.1.20) (Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase) (Antigen 85 complex C) (85C) (Ag85C) (Fibronectin-binding protein C) (Fbps C), fbpC, mpt45 |
