Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac; Domain in Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac. Also known as POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain. Known to be a protein-protein interaction motif found at the N-termini of several C2H2-type transcription factors as well as Shaw-type potassium channels. Known structure reveals a tightly intertwined dimer formed via interactions between N-terminal strand and helix structures. However in a subset of BTB/POZ domains, these two secondary structures appear to be missing. Be aware SMART predicts BTB/POZ domains without the beta1- and alpha1-secondary structures.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 3 (KCTD3); KCTD3, also called renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-45, is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that is an accessory subunit of potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 3 (HCN3), upregulating its cell-surface expression and current density without affecting its voltage dependence and kinetics. The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization.

KCTD10 is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and polymerase delta, and participates in DNA repair, DNA replication, and cell-cycle control. Its down-regulation could inhibit cell proliferation. KCTD10 also plays crucial roles in embryonic angiogenesis and heart development in mammals by negatively regulating the Notch signaling pathway. KCTD13 is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that may function as a substrate-specific adaptor of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitination of RhoA, leading to its degradation by the proteasome, thereby regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell migration. TNFAIP1, also called protein B12, is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that is involved in DNA replication, DNA damage repair, cell apoptosis, and is implicated in human diseases including cancer, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetic nephropathy. The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization. KCTD10 and KCTD13 BTB domains form a novel two-fold symmetric tetramer that is distinct from the tetramer formed by voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels.

This family includes several groups of alpha subunits such as KCNA/Kv1 family of Shaker-type Kv channels, KCNB/Kv2 family of Shab-type Kv channels, KCNC/Kv3 family of Shaw-type Kv channels, KCND/Kv4 family of Shal-type Kv channels, KCNF/Kv5 subfamily of Kv channels, KCNG/Kv6 subfamily of Kv channels, KCNV/Kv8 subfamily of Kv channels, and KCNS/Kv9 subfamily of Kv channels. Kv alpha subunits form functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (typically with other alpha subunits from the same subfamily) through their BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif. KCNQ/Kv7 channels are not included in this family, since they do not contain a BTB/POZ domain.

KCTD2 suppresses gliomagenesis by destabilizing c-Myc. KCTD5 is a negative regulator of the AKT pathway, a key signaling cascade frequently deregulated in cancer. KCTD5 does not impact the operation of Kv4.2, Kv3.4, Kv2.1, or Kv1.2 channels. KCTD17 polyubiquitylates trichoplein, a protein involved in ciliogenesis down-regulation. It is a positive regulator of ciliogenesis, playing a crucial role in the initial steps of axoneme extension. A missense mutation in KCTD17 causes autosomal dominant myoclonus-dystonia (M-D).

It may play a role in the nervous system and in the regulation of beating frequency in pacemaker cells. Shal mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are composed of alpha subunits, which form the actual conductance pore, and cytoplasmic beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins that associate with alpha subunits to modulate the activity of the Kv channel. Shal is an alpha subunit that forms functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.
