Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Activating Transcription Factor-6 (ATF-6) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; ATF-6 is a type I membrane-bound Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that binds to the consensus ER stress response element (ERSE) and enhances the transcription of genes encoding glucose-regulated proteins Grp78, Grp94, and calreticulum. ATF-6 is one of three sensors of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in metazoans; the others being the kinases Ire1 and PERK. It contains an ER-lumenal domain that detects unfolded proteins. In response to ER stress, ATF-6 translocates from the ER to the Golgi with simultaneous cleavage in a process called regulated intramembrane proteolysis (Rip) to its transcriptionally competent form, which enters the nucleus and upregulates target UPR genes. The three UPR sensor branches cross-communicate to form a signaling network. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription.

Maf proteins fall into two groups: small and large. The small Mafs (MafF, MafK, and MafG) do not contain a transactivation domain but do harbor the anxillary DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal bZIP domain. They form dimers with cap'n'collar (CNC) proteins that harbor transactivation domains, and they act either as activators or repressors depending on their dimerization partner. CNC transcription factors include NFE2 (nuclear factor, erythroid-derived 2) and similar proteins NFE2L1 (NFE2-like 1), NFE2L2, and NFE2L3, as well as BACH1 and BACH2. Small Mafs play roles in stress response and detoxification pathways. They also regulate the expression of betaA-globin and other genes activated during erythropoiesis. They have been implicated in various diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases, thrombocytopenia and cancer. Triple deletion of the three small Mafs is embryonically lethal. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Fungal HAC1-like transcription factors: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; HAC1 (also called Hac1p or HacA) is a bZIP transcription factor that plays a critical role in the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is initiated by the ER-resident protein kinase and endonuclease IRE1, which promotes non-conventional splicing of the HAC1 mRNA, facilitating its translation. HAC1 binds to and activates promoters of genes that encode chaperones and other targets of the UPR. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (Maf) proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Maf proteins are Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors that may participate in the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is implicated in many cell functions including proliferation, apoptosis, survival, migration, tumorigenesis, and morphogenesis, among others. Maf proteins fall into two groups: small and large. The large Mafs (c-Maf, MafA, MafB, NRL) contain an N-terminal transactivation domain, a linker region of varying size, an anxillary DNA-binding domain, and a C-terminal bZIP domain. They function as critical regulators of terminal differentiation in the blood and in many tissues such as bone, brain, kidney, pancreas, and retina. The small Mafs (MafF, MafK, MafG) do not contain a transactivation domain. They form dimers with cap'n'collar (CNC) proteins that harbor transactivation domains, and they act either as activators or repressors depending on their dimerization partner. They play roles in stress response and detoxification pathways. They have been implicated in various diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases, thrombocytopenia and cancer. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change.

Coiled-coiled domain of autophagy-related 16 (Atg16) family proteins; The Atg16 family includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae Atg16 (also called cytoplasm to vacuole targeting protein 11, CVT11, or SAP18), human autophagy-related protein 16-1 (also called APG16-like 1, ATG16L1, or APG16L) and autophagy-related protein 16-2 (also called APG16-like 2, ATG16L2, WD repeat-containing protein 80 or WDR80), and similar proteins. Atg16 stabilizes the Atg5-Atg12 conjugate and mediates the formation of the 350 kDa complex, which is necessary for autophagy. The Atg5-Atg12/Atg16 complex is required for efficient promotion of Atg8-conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine and Atg8 localization to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS). Similarly, human ATG16L1 plays an essential role in autophagy and acts as a molecular scaffold which mediates protein-protein interactions essential for autophagosome formation. ATG16L2, though structurally similar to ATG16L1 and able to form a complex with the autophagy proteins Atg5 and Atg12, is not essential for autophagy. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ATG16L1 is associated with an increased risk of developing Crohn disease. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Atg16 contains an N-terminal domain (NTD) that interacts with the Atg5-Atg12 protein conjugate and a coiled-coil domain (CCD) that dimerizes and mediates self-assembly. Human ATG16L1 and ATG16L2 also contains an N-terminal region that binds Atg5, a CCD homologous to the yeast CCD, and a WD40 domain that represents approximately 50% of the full-length protein. This model corresponds to the CCD of Atg16 family proteins.
