Protein Domain : Kelch-like protein 26, BTB/POZ domain IPR030588

Type	Domain
Description	The KLHL (Kelch-like) proteins generally have a BTB/POZ domain, a BACK domain, and five to six Kelch motifs. They constitute a subgroup at the intersection between the BTB/POZ domain and Kelch domain superfamilies. The BTB/POZ domain facilitates protein binding [ ], while the Kelch domain (repeats) form β-propellers. The Kelch superfamily of proteins can be subdivided into five groups: (1) N-propeller, C-dimer proteins, (2) N-propeller proteins, (3) propeller proteins, (4) N-dimer, C-propeller proteins, and (5) C-propeller proteins. KLHL family members belong to the N-dimer, C-propeller subclass of Kelch repeat proteins []. In addition to BTB/POZ and Kelch domains, the KLHL family members contain a BACK domain, first described as a 130-residue region of conservation observed amongst BTB-Kelch proteins []. Many of the Kelch-like proteins have been identified as adaptors for the recruitment of substrates to Cul3-based E3 ubiquitin ligases [, ].Kelch-like protein 26 (KLHL26) is encoded by the klhl26 gene, which is regulated by p53 via fuzzy tandem repeats. It contains a BTB domain and kelch repeats, characteristics of a kelch family protein [ ]. This entry represents the BTB/POZ domain, a common protein-protein interaction module of about 100 amino acids [].
