Schematic representation of the tet operon without (off state) and with (on state) Tc. When Tc is absent, the cells save energy by repressing the expression of tetA and tetR. When Tc is present, TetA is produced and pumps Tc out of the cell. More TetR is also produced to shut down expression again when it is no longer necessary [16].
