Annotation of genes around the esxA locus of M. bovis showing the positions of insertion and size of deletion in signature tag mutants of M. bovis. For comparison, the RD1 deletion in M. bovis BCG and the deletion of the esxA locus in an allelic-exchange mutant of M. bovis (WAg756ko) from an earlier study are also shown. Genes encoding proteins known to be involved in secretion of EsxA and EsxB are boxed.
