Tetracycline resistance leader peptide
This family consists of the tetracycline resistance leader peptide. The presence of 3 inverted repeats which can form 2 different conformations of mRNA suggests that the tetracycline resistance (TcR) region is regulated by a translational attenuation mechanism. A Rho-independent transcriptional terminator structure is present immediately after the translational stop codon of the TET protein.
