Description
The TetR protein is a repressor that binds to a specific operator site ([[BBa_R0040]] & [[BBa_K105020]]). This site specific binding can be inhibited by the small molecule tetracyclin and analogs of tetracyclin.
Notes
To enable the fusion with other domains in frame the vector of this BioBrick has no base pair in between the restriction side and the BioBrick. Furthermore, this coding sequence does not include a start codon.
The frist codon has been changed from TCC to AGT (both Ser) to prevent a methylation site.
