Pleckstrin homology-like domain; The PH-like family includes the PH domain, both the Shc-like and IRS-like PTB domains, the ran-binding domain, the EVH1 domain, a domain in neurobeachin and the third domain of FERM. All of these domains have a PH fold, but lack significant sequence similarity. They are generally involved in targeting to protein to the appropriate cellular location or interacting with a binding partner. This domain family possesses multiple functions including the ability to bind inositol phosphates and to other proteins.

Ran-binding protein 2, Ran binding domains; RanBP2 (also called E3 SUMO-protein ligase RanBP2, 358 kDa nucleoporin, and nuclear pore complex (NPC) protein Nup358) is a giant nucleoporin that localizes to the cytosolic face of the NPC. RanBP2 contains a leucine-rich region, 8 zinc-finger motifs, a cyclophilin A homologous domain, and 4 RanBDs. Ran is a Ras-like nuclear small GTPase, which regulates receptor-mediated transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. RanGTP hydrolysis is stimulated by RanGAP together with the Ran-binding domain containing acessory proteins RanBP1 and RanBP2. These accessory proteins stabilize the active GTP-bound form of Ran. All eukaryotic cells contain RanBP1, but in vertebrates however, the main RanBP seems to be RanBP2. There is no RanBP2 ortholog in yeast. Transport complex disassembly is accomplished by a small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1)-modified version of RanGAP that is bound to RanBP2. RanBP1 acts as a second line of defense against exported RanGTP-importin complexes which have escaped from dissociation by RanBP2. RanBP2 also interacts with the importin subunit beta-1. RabBD shares structural similarity to the PH domain, but lacks detectable sequence similarity. The members here include human, chicken, frog, tunicates, sea urchins, ticks, sea anemones, and sponges. RanBD repeats 1 and 3 are present in this hierarchy.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 10 (BTBD10); BTBD10, also called glucose metabolism-related protein 1 (GMRP1), plays a major role as an activator of AKT family members. It binds to Akt and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and inhibits the PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of Akt, thereby keeping Akt activated. It also plays a role in preventing motor neuronal death and accelerating the growth of pancreatic beta cells. BTBD10 contains a BTB/POZ domain, a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization.

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.

They act as auxiliary subunits of GABAB receptors associated with mood disorders. KCTD8 interacts as a tetramer with GABRB1 and GABRB2. KCTD12 regulates agonist potency and kinetics of GABAB receptor signaling. It promotes tumorigenesis by facilitating CDC25B/CDK1/Aurora A-dependent G2/M transition. KCTD16 interacts with amyloid beta precursor protein (APP), a type I transmembrane protein involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, and axon guidance. The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization.

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).

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 3 (KCND3); KCND3, also called voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv4.3, is a pore-forming subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Mutations in KCND3 cause spinocerebellar ataxia. 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. KCND3 is an alpha subunit that forms functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other Kv4/KCND alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif. It is modulated by cytoplasmic KChIPs/KCNIPs (Kv-channel interacting proteins), which are small calcium binding proteins with EF-hand-like domains.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily V member 1 (KCNV1); KCNV1, also called neuronal potassium channel alpha subunit HNKA or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv8.1, is a new neuronal voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit with specific inhibitory properties towards Shab and Shaw channels. It modulates KCNB1 (also known as Kv2.1) and KCNB2 (also known as Kv2.2) channel activity by shifting the threshold for inactivation to more negative values and by slowing the rate of inactivation. It can also down-regulate the channel activity of KCNB1, KCNB2, KCNC4 (also known as Kv3.4) and KCND1 (also known as Kv4.1), possibly by trapping them in intracellular membranes. 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. KCNV1 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.
