Abstract excerpt
The TetR PQ39 mutant exhibits a new recognition specificity for the tetO-4C operator, but the affinity is not sufficiently high for use in vivo. A stepwise selection of additional mutations by cassette mutagenesis with randomization of residues in the TetR alpha-helix-turn-alpha-helix motif (HTH) yielded mutant TetR EA37PQ39YM42 showing a similar affinity and increased specificity for tetO-4C as wild-type TetR...
