Function
Tetracycline repressor protein (TetR) causes the resistance of bacterial cells to antibiotics like tetracycline (TC). TetR binds TC with higher affinity than the ribosome thus preventing TC from binding there and inhibiting the pathogenic bacteria protein synthesis[1].
Structural highlights
TetR binds DNA with a helix-turn-helix motif. The inhibitor TC binds in the active site to several TetR side chains and to an octahedraly-coordinated Mg+2 ion[2].
