Abstract excerpt
Tet repressor mutants with a shifted effector specificity, preference for a mutant operator sequence or reversion of activity were combined to construct variants bearing two or three phenotypic alterations. TetR alleles with combinations of altered operator and effector specificities can be created by merging the respective residues in a single polypeptide. The mutations giving rise to revTetR, on the other hand,...
