Control elements of the tetracycline-resistance operon encoded in Tn10 of
Escherichia coli have been utilized to establish a highly efficient
regulatory system in mammalian cells. By fusing the tet repressor with the
activating domain of virion protein 16 of herpes simplex virus, a
tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) was generated that is
constitutively expressed in HeLa cells. This transactivator stimulates
transcription from a minimal promoter sequence derived from the human
cytomegalovirus promoter IE combined with tet operator sequences. Upon
integration of a luciferase gene controlled by a tTA-dependent promoter
into a tTA-producing HeLa cell line, high levels of luciferase expression
were monitored. These activities are sensitive to tetracycline. Depending
on the concentration of the antibiotic in the culture medium (0-1
µg/ml), the luciferase activity can be regulated over up to five
orders of magnitude. Thus, the system not only allows differential control
of the activity of an individual gene in mammalian cells but also is
suitable for creation of "on/off" situations for such genes in a reversible
way.
