Tetracycline Response Element (TRE)
The tetracycline response element consists of 7 repeats of the 19bp bacterial tet-o sequence separated by spacer sequences. It is the tet-o that is recognized and bound by the TetR portion of Tet-On or Tet-Off. The TRE is usually placed upstream of a minimal promoter that has very low basal expression in the absence of bound Tet-Off (or Tet-On).

Famous quotes containing the words response and/or element:
“The reason can give nothing at all Like the response to desire.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire. They want votes, peace, nuts, liberty, and spinning-looms not because they love these things, as a child loves jam, but because they think they ought to have them. That is one element which makes the crank.”
—Rose Macaulay (1881–1958)
