BTB/POZ domain; The BTB (for BR-C, ttk and bab) or POZ (for Pox virus and Zinc finger) domain is present near the N-terminus of a fraction of zinc finger (pfam00096) proteins and in proteins that contain the pfam01344 motif such as Kelch and a family of pox virus proteins. The BTB/POZ domain mediates homomeric dimerization and in some instances heteromeric dimerization. The structure of the dimerized PLZF BTB/POZ domain has been solved and consists of a tightly intertwined homodimer. The central scaffolding of the protein is made up of a cluster of alpha-helices flanked by short beta-sheets at both the top and bottom of the molecule. POZ domains from several zinc finger proteins have been shown to mediate transcriptional repression and to interact with components of histone deacetylase co-repressor complexes including N-CoR and SMRT. The POZ or BTB domain is also known as BR-C/Ttk or ZiN.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Ankyrin repeat and BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 2 (ABTB2) and similar proteins; This family includes ABTB2, BTBD11, plant ARM repeat protein interacting with ABF2 (ARIA), and similar proteins. ABTB2, also called bood POZ containing gene type 2 (BPOZ-2), is a scaffold protein that controls the degradation of many biological proteins ranging from embryonic development to tumor progression. It may be involved in the initiation of hepatocyte growth. ABTB2 functions as an adaptor protein for the E3 ubiquitin ligase scaffold protein Cullin-3. It directly binds to eukaryotic elongation factor 1A1 (eEF1A1) to promote eEF1A1 ubiquitylation and degradation, and prevent translation. The BTBD11 gene has been recently identified as an all-trans retinoic acid (atRA)-responsive gene that lies downstream of atRA and its receptors in the regulation of neurite outgrowth and cell adhesion in neural as well as non-neural tissues. ARIA is an armadillo (ARM) repeat and BTB domain-containing protein that acts as a positive regulator of ABA response via the modulation of the transcriptional activity of ABF2. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

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.
