Term Information

Data health 
Accession
GO:0000978
Name
RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
RNA polymerase II upstream activating sequence (UAS) sequence-specific DNA binding
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a sequence of DNA that is in cis with and relatively close to a core promoter for RNA polymerase II. Source: GOC:txnOH
Comment
Note that the phrase "upstream activating sequence", or UAS is often used in S. cerevisiae literature to refer to regulatory sequences that occur in the region upstream and proximal to the core promoter. In contrast, in bacteria such as E. coli, the phrase "upstream activating sequence", or UAS is a synonym for "enhancer".
