Tetracycline (TC) derivatives are extensively used as antibiotics in human and animal medicine and, very recently, they have been screened as anti-amyloidogenic drugs. Anhydrotetracycline (AHTC) is one of the major degradation products of TC that has been linked to several
In Yersinia, the most commonly used expression vectors for genetic studies such as gene complementation do not effectively allow for both induction and repression of gene expression. Additionally, there is no expression system available that can be induced in bacteria
Today's proteome is the result of innumerous gene duplication, mutagenesis, drift and selection processes. Whereas random mutagenesis introduces predominantly only gradual changes in protein function, a case can be made that an abrupt switch in function caused by single amino

Molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the mechanism of induction of a mutant (revTetR) of the tetracycline repressor protein (TetR) that shows the reverse phenotype (i.e., it is induced in the absence of tetracyclines and not in their presence).
Anti-restriction proteins ArdA and Ocr are specific inhibitors of type I restriction-modification enzymes. The IncI1 transmissible plasmid ColIb-P9 ardA and bacteriophage T7 0.3(ocr) genes were cloned in pUC18 vector. Both ArdA (ColIb-P9) and Ocr (T7) proteins inhibit both restriction and
