Protein
Tetracycline repressor protein class H
Organism
Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida
Function
TetR is the repressor of the tetracycline resistance element; its N-terminal region forms a helix-turn-helix structure and binds DNA. Binding of tetracycline to TetR reduces the repressor affinity for the tetracycline resistance gene (tetA) promoter operator sites.
