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.

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.

Doom is a product of the Drosophila mod(mdg4) gene. It induces apoptosis and binds to baculovirus inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins. This subfamily also includes Drosophila melanogaster sex determination protein fruitless (FRU), protein jim lovell (LOV), zinc finger protein chinmo, transcription factor GAGA, transcription factor Ken, and longitudinals lacking proteins (LOLA). FRU probably acts as a transcriptional regulator that plays a role in male courtship behavior and sexual orientation, and enhances male-specific expression of takeout in brain-associated fat body. LOV, also called tyrosine kinase-related (TKR), has a regulatory role during midline cell development. Chinmo is a functional effector of the JAK/STAT pathway that regulates eye development, tumor formation, and stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila. GAGA is a transcriptional activator that functions by regulating chromatin structure. Ken, also termed protein Ken and Barbie, is a transcription factor required for Terminalia development. LOLA proteins are putative transcription factors required for axon growth and guidance in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Proteins in this subfamily contain a BTB domain. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.
