Abstract

We report a regulation system in Escherichia coli for independent regulation of two distinct reporter genes by application of Tet repressors with different specificities. One Tet repressor variant comprises wild-type tet operator (tetO) recognition and exclusive induction with the novel inducer 4-dedimethylamino-anhydrotetracycline. The other Tet repressor variant shows tetO-4C recognition and induction with tetracycline. We demonstrate that both variants are independently active in vivo and allow selective regulation of two genes in the same cell without any cross talk.
