label: cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding
label_lc: cis-regulatory region sequence-specific dna binding
description: "Binding to a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site, located in cis relative to the transcription start site (i.e., on the same strand of DNA) of a gene transcribed by some RNA polymerase. Cis-regulatory sites are often referred to as a sequence motifs, enhancers, or silencers."
