Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding. Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase II transcription by binding an enhancer region of DNA. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an enhancer, a cis-acting sequence that increases the utilization of some eukaryotic promoters, and can function in either orientation and in any location (upstream or downstream) relative to the promoter.
