TET REPRESSOR, CLASS D VARIANTTET REPRESSOR, CLASS D VARIANT
Structural highlights
Function[TETR4_ECOLX] TetR is the repressor of the tetracycline resistance element; its N-terminal region forms a helix-turn-helix structure and binds DNA. Binding of tetracycline to TetR reduces the repressor affinity for the tetracycline resistance gene (tetA) promoter operator sites. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe X-ray crystal structure analysis of inducer-free Tet repressor, TetR, at 2.4 A resolution identifies one of two openings of the tunnel-like binding site as the entrance for the inducer tetracycline-Mg2+, [Mg Tc]+. Recognition and binding of the inducer unleashes conformational changes leading to the induced state of TetR. In the first step, the C-terminal turn of alpha-helix 6 unwinds, thereby altering the orientation of alpha-helix 4. This different orientation of alpha-helix 4 is stabilized by a series of hydrogen bonds mediated through a chain of eight water molecules. The alpha-helix 4 connects the DNA-binding domain (alpha-helices 1 to 3) to the rigid TetR core, and thus regulates gene expression through its respective orientations. Conformational changes of the Tet repressor induced by tetracycline trapping.,Orth P, Cordes F, Schnappinger D, Hillen W, Saenger W, Hinrichs W J Mol Biol. 1998 Jun 5;279(2):439-47.
