Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0003674	molecular_function	A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs.
GO:0005488	binding	The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
GO:0003676	nucleic acid binding	Binding to a nucleic acid.
GO:1990837	sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding	Binding to double-stranded 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.
GO:0003677	DNA binding	Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
GO:0003690	double-stranded DNA binding	Binding to double-stranded DNA.
GO:0043565	sequence-specific DNA binding	Binding to 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.
GO:0001067	transcription regulatory region nucleic acid binding	Binding to a nucleic acid region that regulates a nucleic acid-based process. Such processes include transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair.
GO:0000976	transcription cis-regulatory region binding	Binding to a specific sequence of DNA that is part of a regulatory region that controls transcription of that section of the DNA. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.
GO:0000977	RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding	Binding to a specific sequence of DNA that is part of a regulatory region that controls the transcription of a gene or cistron by RNA polymerase II.
GO:0000987	cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding	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.
GO:0000978	RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding	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 RNA polymerase II.
GO:0070888	E-box binding	Binding to an E-box, a DNA motif with the consensus sequence CANNTG that is found in the promoters of a wide array of genes expressed in neurons, muscle and other tissues.
