BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain superfamily; Proteins in this superfamily are characterized by the presence of a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids, known as the BTB/POZ domain. Members include transcription factors, oncogenic proteins, ion channel proteins, and potassium channel tetramerization domain (KCTD) proteins. They have been identified in poxviruses and many eukaryotes, and have diverse functions, such as transcriptional regulation, chromatin remodeling, protein degradation and cytoskeletal regulation. Many BTB/POZ proteins contain one or two additional domains, such as kelch repeats, zinc-finger domains, FYVE (Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1) fingers, or ankyrin repeats, among others. These special additional domains or interaction partners provide unique characteristics and functions to BTB/POZ proteins. In ion channel proteins and KCTD proteins, the BTB/POZ domain is also called the tetramerization (T1) domain.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 17 (KCTD17); KCTD17 is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that functions as a substrate-adaptor for cullin3-RING ubiquitin ligases that 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).

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein KCTD11; KCTD11 may function as an antagonist of the Hedgehog pathway of cell proliferation and differentiation by affecting the nuclear transfer of transcription factor GLI1, thus maintaining cerebellar granule cells in the undifferentiated state. It is a probable substrate-specific adapter for a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex towards HDAC1. It contains a BTB/POZ domain; in some cases the domain may be truncated. 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.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in KCNC/Kv3 subfamily of Shaw-type voltage-dependent potassium channels; 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. The potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Kv3, also known as subfamily C, contains four alpha subunit members, Kv3.1 (KCNC1), Kv3.2 (KCNC2), Kv3.3 (KCNC3), and Kv3.4 (KCNC4), which are orthologs of the Shaw gene in Drosophila. Unlike other Kv subfamilies, Kv3 channels typically open only at positive potentials and both, activation and deactivation, in response to changes in voltage are very rapid. They are uniquely associated with the ability of certain neurons to fire action potentials and to release neurotransmitter at high rates of up to 1,000 Hz. Kv3/KCNC subfamily alpha subunits form functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other alpha subunits) through their BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.

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. KCNG3 is a regulatory alpha subunit that cannot form a functional homo-tetrameric channel. It forms hetero-tetrameric channels (with other functional alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 1 (KCNB1); KCNB1, also called delayed rectifier potassium channel 1 (DRK1) or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv2.1, mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain, but also in the pancreas and cardiovascular system. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a tetrameric potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. KCNB1 is involved in the regulation of the action potential (AP) repolarization, duration and frequency of repetitive AP firing in neurons, muscle cells and endocrine cells and plays a role in homeostatic attenuation of electrical excitability throughout the brain. 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. KCNB1 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.
