Zinc finger, C2H2 type; The C2H2 zinc finger is the classical zinc finger domain. The two conserved cysteines and histidines co-ordinate a zinc ion. The following pattern describes the zinc finger. #-X-C-X(1-5)-C-X3-#-X5-#-X2-H-X(3-6)-[H/C] Where X can be any amino acid, and numbers in brackets indicate the number of residues. The positions marked # are those that are important for the stable fold of the zinc finger. The final position can be either his or cys. The C2H2 zinc finger is composed of two short beta strands followed by an alpha helix. The amino terminal part of the helix binds the major groove in DNA binding zinc fingers. The accepted consensus binding sequence for Sp1 is usually defined by the asymmetric hexanucleotide core GGGCGG but this sequence does not include, among others, the GAG (=CTC) repeat that constitutes a high-affinity site for Sp1 binding to the wt1 promoter.

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 zinc finger and BTB domain-containing (ZBTB) proteins, Kelch-like (KLHL) proteins, and similar proteins; This family includes a variety of BTB/POZ domain-containing proteins, such as zinc finger and BTB domain-containing (ZBTB) proteins and Kelch-like (KLHL) proteins. They 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. These special additional domains or interaction partners provide unique characteristics and functions to BTB/POZ proteins. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

It is a novel protein that interacts with the influenza A virus nonstructural NS1 protein, which is relocalized in the nuclei of infected cells. It plays a role in cell division and in the dynamic organization of the actin skeleton as a stabilizer of actin filaments by association with F-actin through its kelch repeats. It also interacts with alpha-enolase/MBP-1 and is involved in c-Myc gene transcriptional control. NS1-BP contains BTB and BACK domains at the N-terminal region and kelch repeats at the C-terminal region. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

It binds with a higher affinity to methylated CpG dinucleotides in the consensus sequence 5'-CGCG-3', as well as E-box elements (5'-CACGTG-3'). It can also bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. ZBTB38 represses transcription in a methyl-CpG-dependent manner. It is a negative regulator of endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated apoptosis. It contains a BTB/POZ domain, a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) /POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Drosophila melanogaster proteins bric-a-brac 1 (BAB1), bric-a-brac 2 (BAB2), modifier of mdg4 (doom), and similar proteins; BAB1 and BAB2 probably act as transcriptional regulators that are required for specification of the tarsal segment and are involved in antenna development. 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.

In vertebrates, the RhoBTB subfamily consists of 3 isoforms: RhoBTB1, RhoBTB2, and RhoBTB3. Orthologs are present in several other eukaryotes, such as Drosophila and Dictyostelium, but have been lost in plants and fungi. This model corresponds to the first BTB domain.

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.
