Description

The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.1 Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.2,3 Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR systems, binding the TetR 35-fold more strongly than Tet.4,1 Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,5 so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.1
