  • Tetracycline regulated transcriptional modulators with altered DNA binding specificities
    Patent number: 5589362
    Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding fusion proteins which regulate transcription in eukaryotic cells are disclosed. The fusion proteins of the invention comprise a Tet repressor having at least one amino acid mutation that confers on the fusion protein an ability to bind a class B tet operator sequence having a nucleotide substitution at position +4 or +6, operatively linked to a polypeptide which regulates transcription in eukaryotic cells. Methods for regulating transcription of a tet operator-linked gene in a cell are also provided.
