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 voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 (KCNA6); KCNA6, also called voltage-gated potassium channel HBK2 or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv1.6, mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes. 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. KCNA6 is distributed primarily in neurons of central and peripheral nervous systems. 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. KCNA6 is an alpha subunit that forms functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other Kv1/KCNA 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 KCNA/Kv1 subfamily of Shaker-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 Kv1, also known as subfamily A, contains eight alpha subunit members, Kv1.1 (KCNA1), Kv1.2 (KCNA2), Kv1.3 (KCNA3), Kv1.4 (KCNA4), Kv1.5 (KCNA5), Kv1.6 (KCNA6), Kv1.7 (KCNA7), and Kv1.8 (KCNA10), which are orthologs of the Shaker gene in Drosophila. They are delayed rectifiers except for Kv1.4 (KCNA4), which is an A-type potassium channel. Delayed rectifiers are slow opening and closing voltage-gated potassium channels. Because of their delayed activation kinetics, they play an important role in controlling action potential duration. A-type channels are fast/rapidly inactivating potassium channels. Kv1/KCNA subfamily alpha subunits form functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other Kv1/KCNA alpha subunits) through their BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.

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.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in KCNB/Kv2 subfamily of Shab-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 two alpha subunit members, Kv2.1 (KCNB1) and Kv2.2 (KCNB2), which are orthologs of the Shab gene in Drosophila. They are delayed-rectifier potassium currents in various neurons, although their physiological roles often remain elusive. Kv2/KCNB 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.

KCTD proteins play crucial roles in a variety of fundamental biological processes, such as protein ubiquitination and degradation, suppression of proliferation or transcription, cytoskeleton regulation, tetramerization and gating of ion channels and others. Some KCTD proteins are involved in protein ubiquitination as part of the CRL (Cullin RING Ligase) E3 ligases. Some others show Cullin-independent functions including binding and regulation of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors (KCTD8, KCTD12 and KCTD16) and inhibition of AP-2 function (KCTD15). 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 potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C members KCNC2 and KCNC4; KCNC2, also called Shaw-like potassium channel or voltage-gated potassium channel Kv3.2, is a delayed rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain. It contributes to the regulation of the fast action potential repolarization and in sustained high-frequency firing in neurons of the central nervous system. KCNC4, also called KSHIIIC or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv3.4, is a novel high-voltage-activating, tetraethylammonium (TEA)-sensitive, type-A potassium channel that mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. It plays a pivotal role in oxidative stress-related neural cell damage as an oxidation-sensitive channel. 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. KCNC2 and KCNC4 are alpha subunit that 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.

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.
