TetR DNA binding domain containing BamHI site for protein fusions

Figure 1

Truncated version of tetracycline repressor TetR, consisting of 1 – 127 amino acids, containing DNA binding domain. The rest of the protein, alpha 8-10 helixes responsible for tetR dimerization, were removed in order to keep tetR-DBD in monomer form and prevent from efficient DNA binding and transcription repression.


Usage and Biology

We introduced BamHI site at C terminus for an easy in tetR-DBD frame fusions with other proteins. Thus, it can be used in two hybrid systems for both, homo and hetero dimerizations, also one can use these fusions to turn protein-protein interaction into the repression of transcription.
