The TRANSFAC database can be used as an encyclopedia of eukaryotic transcription factors. The target sequences and the regulated genes can be listed for each TF, which can be used as benchmark for TFBS recognition tools or as training sets for new transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) recognition algorithms.

a Wiki-based database for transcription factor-binding data generated by the ENCODE consortium. database: website [8] hmChIP a database and web server for exploring publicly available human and mouse ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip data. database: website [9] HOCOMOCO: a comprehensive collection of human and mouse transcription factor binding sites ...
The DNA sequence that a transcription factor binds to is called a transcription factor-binding site or response element. [62] Transcription factors interact with their binding sites using a combination of electrostatic (of which hydrogen bonds are a special case) and Van der Waals forces. Due to the nature of these chemical interactions, most ...
Protein-DNA binding: data, tools & models (annotated list, constantly updated) Abalone tool for modeling DNA-ligand interactions. DBD database of predicted transcription factors Uses a curated set of DNA-binding domains to predict transcription factors in all completely sequenced genomes
UBTF is a transcription factor required for expression of the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNAs, along with SL1 (a complex of TBP (MIM 600075) and three TBP-associated factors or 'TAFs') [citation needed]. UBTF is a nucleolar phosphoprotein with both DNA binding and transactivation domains.
EGR1 is a transcription factor important for regulation of methylation of CpG islands. An EGR1 transcription factor binding site is frequently located in enhancer or promoter sequences. [20] There are about 12,000 binding sites for EGR1 in the mammalian genome and about half of EGR1 binding sites are located in promoters and half in enhancers. [20]
Artificial transcription factors (ATFs) are engineered individual or multi molecule transcription factors that either activate or repress gene transcription (biology). [ 1 ] ATFs often contain two main components linked together, a DNA-binding domain and a regulatory domain, also known as an effector domain or modulatory domain. [ 1 ]
The TCF/LEF family (T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor family) is a group of genes that encode transcription factors which bind to DNA through a SOX-like high mobility group domain. They are involved in the Wnt signaling pathway , particularly during embryonic [ 2 ] and stem-cell development, [ 3 ] but also had been found to play a role in ...
