Mosaic tetracycline resistance genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins [PDF]
First reported in 2003, mosaic tetracycline resistance genes are a subgroup of the genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins (RPPs). They are formed when two or more RPP-encoding genes recombine resulting in a functional chimera. To date, the majority

Safety and efficacy of Tet-regulated IL-12 expression in cancer-specific T cells
We explored whether engineering of T cell specificity and effector function improves immunotherapy of solid tumors. Although IL-12 can enhance cancer immunity, a strategy of safe IL-12 delivery without toxicity is currently lacking. We engineered T cells

Two Different Tetracycline Resistance Mechanisms, Plasmid-Carried tet(L) and Chromosomally Located Transposon-Associated tet(M), Coexist in Lactobacillus sakei Rits 9 [PDF]
Lactobacillus sakei is extensively used as functional starter culture in fermented meat products. One of the safety criteria of a starter culture is the absence of potentially transferable antibiotic resistance determinants.

Acute loss of TET function results in aggressive myeloid cancer in mice [PDF]
TET-family dioxygenases oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA, and exert tumour suppressor activity in many types of cancers. Even in the absence of TET coding region mutations, TET loss-of-function is strongly associated with cancer.

Tet repressor binding induced curvature of tet operator DNA
Tet repressor dimer binds to two tet operator sites spaced by 30 bp in the Tn10 encoded tet regulatory DNA. The effect of repressor binding on the gel mobility of circular permutated DNA fragments containing either one or both operator sequences is reported.

Characterizing the removal of antibiotics in algal wastewater treatment ponds : a case study on tetracycline in HRAPs: a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Engineering at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston, New Zealand [PDF]
Antibiotics are ubiquitous pollutants in wastewater, owing to their usefulness in both animal and human treatment. Antibiotic pollution is a growing concern because of the risk of encouraging antibiotic resistance in wastewater treatment (WWT) systems ...
