Tet protein domains interact productively to mediate tetracycline resistance when present on separate polypeptides.

Abstract excerpt
Both domains, alpha and beta, of the cytoplasmic membrane-localized Tet proteins encoded by the tet gene family (classes A through E) are required for resistance to tetracycline (Tcr) in gram-negative bacteria. Two inactive proteins, each containing a mutation in the opposite domain, are capable of complementation to produce Tcr. Similarly, inactive hybrid proteins expressed by interdomain gene hybrids...
