TetR repressor tagged with yBFP and a VP16 activation domain

This is the repressor TetR from the Tn10 tetracycline (Tc) resistance operon of E.coli. It will bind with high specificity to the tetO operator and is inhibited in the presence of ATc (1). This repressor is tagged with yeast codon optimized BFP as well as a VP16 activation domain. BFP is a monomeric fluorescent protein and has an excitation peak of 399 nm and an emission peak of 465 nm (2). It was yeast codon optimized through DNA synthesis for the purpose of expressing in S. cerevisiae tagged to various repressors and activators.
