tetR-Ptet

Tetracycline inducer system based on the tetracycline resistance mechanism found in gram-negative bacteria.1 It is one of the most used transcriptional regulatory systems.2 We use the Tet-On system where the transcription is induced in the presence of a tetracycline or tetracycline derivates.3 The rtTA (reverse tetracycline transactivator) protein, a fusion of the TetR (tetracycline repressor) and VP16 ativation domain, can bind the TRE (tetracycline response element) only in the presence of tetracycline, thereby activating gene expression.3
