The BTB/POZ domain defines a newly characterized protein-protein interaction interface. It is highly conserved throughout metazoan evolution and generally found at the NH2 terminus of either actin-binding or, more commonly, nuclear DNA-binding proteins. By mediating protein binding in large aggregates, the BTB/POZ domain serves to organize higher order macromolecular complexes involved in ring canal formation or chromatin folding.

SUMOylation of TRIM28 is positively modulated by the BTB/POZ domain of Kaiso.
Mol Biol Rep

Federal Research Centre «Fundamentals of Biotechnology», Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, 119071.
Background: TRIM28 plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability and establishing imprinting, facilitated by the diversity of KRAB zinc finger proteins. The SUMOylation of TRIM28 is essential for its function and is enhanced in the presence of the KRAB domain. Previously, we demonstrated that Kaiso, another factor capable of interacting with TRIM28, can promote its SUMOylation.

The drug combination is an attractive approach for cancer treatment. PARP and kinase inhibitors have recently been explored against cancer cells, but their combination has not been investigated comprehensively. In this study, we used various drug combination databases to build ML models for drug combinations against brain cancer cells.

Background: Lameness is a collective term for multiple foot diseases in cattle including, but not limited to, foot rot (FR), digital dermatitis (DD), and toe tip necrosis (TTN), which is a critical welfare concern. The diagnosis of specific phenotypes of lameness in feedlot cattle is challenging and primarily relies on visual assessments. However, different lameness phenotypes share similar clinical symptoms and there is a limited understanding of potential biomarkers relating to such disease for further molecular diagnosis.

ZBTB7A, alternatively referred to Pokemon, FBI-1, LRF, and OCZF, is classified as a member of POK/ZBTB protein family of transcriptional repressors. ZBTB7A binds to targeted DNA via C-terminal zinc fingers and recruits co-compression complexes through N-terminal BTB ⁄ POZ domain to impede transcription. ZBTB7A regulates a range of fundamental biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, B- and T-lymphocyte fate determination and thymic insulin expression and self-tolerance.
