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.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C members KCNC1 and KCNC3; KCNC1 (also called NGK2, voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv3.1, or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv4) and KCNC3 (also called KSHIIID or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv3.3) play important roles in the rapid repolarization of fast-firing brain neurons. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the proteins form tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. 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. KCNC1 and KCNC3 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 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.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily S member 2 (KCNS2); KCNS2, also called delayed-rectifier K(+) channel alpha subunit 2 or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv9.2, is a modulatory alpha subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel that can form functional heterotetrameric channels with KCNB1 (also known as Kv2.1) and KCNB2 (also known as Kv2.2), and further modulates the delayed rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel activation and deactivation rates of KCNB1 and KCNB2. 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. KCNS2 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 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.
