Noninducible Tet repressor mutations map from the operator binding motif to the C terminus.

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a new genetic selection system for Tet repressor mutations with a noninducible phenotype for tetracycline (TetRs). Extensive chemical mutagenesis of tetR yielded 93 single-site Tet repressor mutations. They map from residue 23 preceding the alpha-helix-turn-alpha-helix operator binding motif to residue 196 close to the C terminus of the repressor. Thirty-three of the mutations are clustered...
