Slx4 endonuclease; The Slx4 protein is a heteromeric structure-specific endonuclease found from fungi to mammals. Slx4 with Slx1 acts as a nuclease on branched DNA substrates, particularly simple-Y, 5'-flap, or replication fork structures by cleaving the strand bearing the 5' non-homologous arm at the branch junction and thus generating ligatable nicked products from 5'-flap or replication fork substrates.

first BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Rho-related BTB domain-containing proteins (RhoBTB); RhoBTB proteins constitute a subfamily of atypical members within the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), which is characterized by containing a GTPase domain (in most cases, non-functional) followed by a proline-rich region, tandem BTB domains, and a conserved C-terminal region. 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. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

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.

second BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 3 (RhoBTB3); RhoBTB3 is an atypical Rho family small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) and is a member of the RhoBTB subfamily, which is characterized by containing a GTPase domain (in most cases, non-functional) followed by a proline-rich region, tandem BTB domains, and a conserved C-terminal region. The carboxyl terminal extension that harbors two BTB domains is capable of assembling cullin 3-dependent ubiquitin ligase complexes. RhoBTB3 is a Golgi-associated Rho-related ATPase that regulates the S/G2 transition of the cell cycle by targeting cyclin E for ubiquitylation. It is involved in vesicle trafficking and in targeting proteins for degradation in the proteasome. It binds directly to Rab9 GTPase and functions with Rab9 in protein transport from endosomes to the trans Golgi network. It also promotes proteasomal degradation of Hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (HIFalpha) through facilitating hydroxylation and suppresses the Warburg effect. This model corresponds to the second BTB domain. The BTB/POZ domain is 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 RCC1 and BTB domain-containing protein 1 (RCBTB1); RCBTB1 is also called chronic lymphocytic leukemia deletion region gene 7 protein (CLLD7), CLL deletion region gene 7 protein, regulator of chromosome condensation and BTB domain-containing protein 1, or E4.5. It is a novel chromosome condensation regulator-like guanine nucleotide exchange factor that may be involved in cell cycle regulation by chromatin remodeling. It may also function as a tumor suppressor that regulates pathways of DNA damage/repair and apoptosis. RCBTB1 may also be a substrate adaptor for a cullin3 (CUL3) E3 ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Biallelic mutations in RCBTB1 may cause isolated and syndromic retinal dystrophy. It contains an RCC1 repeat, a BTB domain, and a BACK domain. The BTB/POZ domain is 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 plant regulatory proteins, NPR1-4, and similar proteins; NPR1 and NPR2 are essential for pathogenicity and the utilization of many nitrogen sources. NPR1 is also called nitrogen pathogenicity regulation protein NPR1, non-inducible immunity protein 1 (Nim1), nonexpresser of PR genes 1, or salicylic acid insensitive 1 (Sai1). It acts as a transcription coactivator that plays dual roles in regulating plant immunity. NPR3 and NPR4 are involved in negative regulation of defense responses against pathogens in plant. NPR proteins contain a BTB domain, DUF3420, ankyrin (ANK) repeats, and a conserved C-terminal domain. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.

second BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2 (RhoBTB2); RhoBTB2, also called Deleted in breast cancer 2 gene protein (DBC2) or p83, is an atypical Rho family small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) and is a member of the RhoBTB subfamily, which is characterized by containing a GTPase domain (in most cases, non-functional) followed by a proline-rich region, tandem BTB domains, and a conserved C-terminal region. The carboxyl terminal extension that harbors two BTB domains is capable of assembling cullin 3-dependent ubiquitin ligase complexes. RhoBTB2 functions as a tumor suppressor that regulates the expression of the methyltransferase METTL7A. It also acts an adaptor of the Cullin-3-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. This model corresponds to the second BTB domain. The BTB/POZ domain is 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 BTB/POZ domain-containing proteins, BTBD3 and BTBD6; This family includes BTB/POZ domain-containing proteins BTBD3 and BTBD6, both of which are BTB-domain-containing Kelch-like proteins. BTBD3 controls dendrite orientation toward active axons in mammalian neocortex. BTBD6 is required for proper embryogenesis and plays an essential evolutionary conserved role during neuronal development. The BTB/POZ domain is 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 speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) and similar proteins; This family includes speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), speckle-type POZ protein-like (SPOPL), TD and POZ domain-containing proteins (TDPOZ), Drosophila melanogaster protein roadkill and similar proteins. Both, SPOP and SPOPL, serve as adaptors of cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes that mediate the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins. TDPOZ is a family of bipartite animal and plant proteins that contain a tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) domain (TD) and a POZ/BTB domains. TDPOZ proteins may be nuclear scaffold proteins probably involved in transcription regulation in early development and other cellular processes. Drosophila melanogaster protein roadkill, also called Hh-induced MATH and BTB domain-containing protein (HIB), is a hedgehog-induced BTB protein that modulates hedgehog signaling by degrading Ci/Gli transcription factor. The BTB/POZ domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.
