Abstract excerpt
We constructed and characterized four Tet repressor (TetR) variants with engineered cysteine residues which can form disulfide bonds and are located in regions where conformational changes during induction by tetracycline (tc) might occur. All TetR mutants show nearly wild-type activities in vivo, and the reduced proteins also show wild-type activities in vitro. Complete and reversible disulfide bond formation...
