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. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the 5S rDNA sequence encoding ribosomal 5S rRNA, which is individually transcribed by RNA polymerase III, rather than by RNA polymerase I, in species where it exists. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA sequences encoding ribosomal RNA. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with replication fork barriers found in rDNA spacers, sites that inhibit replication forks in the direction opposite to rDNA transcription. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
