Usage and Biology
The Tet repressor protein (TetR) family is a ubiquitous family of transcriptional regulators in a variety of bacteria, with more than 2000 members. The first TetR family identified in Escherichia coli. was Tn10, which controls the expression of genes encoding the tetracycline spillover pump necessary for drug resistance.(Ramos et al., 2005) In the absence of tetracycline, TetR binds to the tetracycline operon and inhibits the transcription of tetracycline spillover pump genes.

TetR-like transcriptional regulators contain a conserved helix-turn-helix DNA binding region (forming homodimers) and generally act as transcriptional repressors. (Das et al., 2016)Their function is to broadly regulate cellular activities (including drug spillover, antibiotic synthesis, amino acid metabolism, etc.)
