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. The function of binding to a specific DNA sequence in order to modulate transcription. The transcription factor may or may not also interact selectively with a protein or macromolecular complex. Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase II transcription. Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase II transcription by binding an enhancer region of DNA. Plays a role in regulating transcription; may bind a promoter or enhancer DNA sequence or interact with a DNA-binding transcription factor. 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.
