摘要: The tetracycline repressor (TetR) regulates the most abundant resistance mechanism against antibiotic in gram-negative bacteria. TetR protein and its mutants are commonly used as control elements to regulate gene expression higher eukaryotes. We present crystal structure of homodimer complex with palindromic DNA operator at 2.5 A resolution. Comparison inducer tetracycline-Mg2+ allows induction be deduced. Inducer binding core initiates conformational changes starting C-terminal unwinding shifting short helix α6 each monomer. This forces a pendulum-like motion α4, which increases separation attached domains by 3 A, abolishing affinity for DNA.
