BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) /POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Elongin-C (EloC) and similar proteins
Elongin-C is also called elongin 15 kDa subunit, RNA polymerase II transcription factor SIII subunit C, SIII p15, or transcription elongation factor B polypeptide 1 (TCEB1). It is a component of SIII (also known as elongin), which is a general transcription elongation factor that increases the RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. It forms a regulatory complex with subunit B or elongin-B (BC) that enhances the activity of the transcriptionally active subunit A. The BC complex also functions as an adaptor protein in the proteasomal degradation of target proteins via different E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, including the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex CBC (VHL) and the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) box ubiquitin ligase family. Elongin-C belongs to the BTB/POZ domain family; the domain is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.
