Abstract excerpt
The most frequently occurring resistance of Gram-negative bacteria against tetracyclines is triggered by drug recognition of the Tet repressor. This causes dissociation of the repressor-operator DNA complex and enables expression of the resistance protein TetA, which is responsible for active efflux of tetracycline. The 2.5 angstrom resolution crystal structure of the homodimeric Tet repressor complexed with...
