TetR with TEV cleavage site and CFP tag
This part is a modified TetR repressor protein containing a cleavage site for TEV protease. It offers a new way of relieving repression of a DNA system. The cleavage site is located in the linker between the DNA binding domain and dimerisation domain of TetR. It also has a His-tag for easy purification in a nickel column. It is an improvement of a previous iGEM part.
The TetR repressor is only functional as a dimer. Each monomer has a DNA-binding domain and a dimerisation domain.

Usage and Biology
TetR functions as a homodimer to bind tet operator sequences and prevent the association of RNA polymerase with its promoter. Each TetR monomer has a DNA binding domain and a dimerisation domain. The DNA binding domain is a helix-turn-helix motif that associates with a tet operator sequence (TCCCTATCAGTGATAGAGA). Our complementary part, BBa_K2450301, contains 2 repeats of this sequence - one for each monomer.
