CC   -!- FUNCTION: Virulence factor that is important for the establishment of
CC       infection in the host. EsxA is required for EsxB synthesis as well as
CC       secretion (By similarity). Modulates host cell apoptotic pathways and
CC       mediates together with EsxB the release of S.aureus from the host cell.
CC       By acting on apoptosis, plays a role in the modulation of dendritic
CC       cell-mediated immunity (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0H2XI99, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0C046}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0C046}.
CC       Note=Secreted via the ESAT-6 secretion system (Ess) / type VII
CC       secretion system (T7SS). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0C046}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the WXG100 family. sagEsxA-like subfamily.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
