Abstract
The TetR family of microbial transcription factors directly control the expression of a diverse range of genes in bacteria by sensing specific ligands. In this issue of Chemistry & and Biology, Cuthbertson and colleagues used phylogenomics to guide the identification of TetR-like protein cognate ligands and revealed a novel inducible antibiotic resistance mechanism.Year: 2013 PMID: 23438741 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2013.02.005
