DNA-Binding Domains (DBDs)
The $\text{DBD}$ recognizes and associates with specific, often short, sequence motifs in the genome known as cis-regulatory elements ($\text{CREs}$), such as promoters or enhancers. The structural motifs employed for $\text{DNA}$ recognition are highly conserved across phylogenetic boundaries, although subtle variations dictate specificity.
Notable $\text{DBD}$ motifs include:
